| 2. If there is a full moon visible from Paris one evening, twelve hours later in Australia there will be a _________ visible. Answer

The Andromeda Constellation is located in the northern hemisphere, it can be seen at latitudes between +90°and -40° and is best visible at 9 p.m. during the month of November. The constellation is, also, home to the Andromeda Galaxy, that resides 2,5 light-years from earth. This constellation is beyond complex, for the myth that names it, as well for being next doors neighbors with it's galaxy, thus my interest in it.

I've picked the constellation, Aquarius, as my topic for this assignment. I chose this star constellation because my sign is Aquarius, therefore I thought it would be fun and entertaining to do for the project and I would also love to learn more about my sign. The Aquarius is located in the Southern Hemisphere and is one of the oldest recorded constellation of the Zodiac. It is a very large constellation; it spreads out over 980 square degrees and it is the 10th largest constellation in the sky. There aren't many bright stars in the sky, so it's hard to see without a telescope in handy, but you can try and see if you can find it with the naked eye! The Aquarius was recorded during the second century by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy. The constellation name means "cup bearer" or "water bearer" in the Latin language. The

I've chosen to speak about the constellation Crux, commonly known as the Southern Cross, since this was the first constellation I learned to recognise in the night sky. Despite being the smallest official constellation, it is one of the easiest to recognize and, on the Southern hemisphere, it's used to locate the South Celestial Pole. The Crux constellation is formed by 4 main stars: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta Crucis.

The constellation that I have chosen is Capricornus. Capricornus is one of the twelve zodiac constellations, and it symbolizes the sea-goat. The best time to see this constellation would be at ten o'clock at night in September and October, especially if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. I chose this constellation because according to Astrology I am a Capricorn and thought it would be interesting to know more about the constellation relating to my zodiac sign. Capricornus has five stars with planets in it's constellation.

The constellation I have chosen to write about is Orion. This is one of the most famous constellations in the night sky. I chose this one because as I stated, it is very famous, and because it is one of those constellations that I have seen many times. Orion is a hunter, so the constellation shows a man holding a club and shield. It is easily recognized by the three stars in a line that form the hunter's belt.

My favourite constellation is Apus. Apus is also known as 'The Bird of Paradise'. It is called this as the Greek, who named the costellation, knew the bird of paradise to have no feet. By looking up at Apus, you can see the body figure but no feet. Apus also translates into 'no feet' in Greek. I chose this constellation because I am intrigued at why the bird of paradise, so to speak, has no legs and why this is so great. Apus intrigues my sense of curiosity as to it's origin and why it is called what it is.

My favorite constellation by far is the Gemini constellation. The Gemini constellation is my favorite because my star sign is Gemini. And it is fairly easy to spot in the night sky, although the best viewing month is in February.

Cassiopeia Constellation is in the Northern sky. It is named after the conceited Queen Cassiopeia of Greek Mythology. It is a circumpolar constellation meaning that

I have chosen the constellation Draco. I chose it because it is in the form of a dragon and dragons are my favorite mythological creatures. It is located in the far northern sky. It's name is Latin for dragon. It can be see all year from the North.

A star is a glowing ball of plasma held together by gravity. Likewise, a constellation is a grouping of stars in specific patterns and Cancer ranks as one of the most ancient constellations in our sky. There are twelve constellations of the zodiac, Cancer is commonly presented as a Crab for its Latin name. It is nearly impossible to see the constellation with the naked eye. Its location lies 6 degrees north to 33 degrees north and an area of about 506 square degrees. Although the symbol does not appear like a crab but more like an upside-down Y, many believe it to be the back of the crab.

There are numerous versions of the myth of Orion, but one of the more common

My favourite constellation is Cancer, or, the crab. This is my Zodiac sun sign, the zodiac segment the sun was in at the time I was born. The Cancer is the dimmest of the zodiac signs, and it looks like an upside-down Y. It can be seen during autumn in the southern hemisphere and northern hemisphere in early spring.

My favorite constellation is Capricorn. I love the creature behind it, the zodiac lore tied in, and for some reason I find the shape very appealing. It is located just above Cancer in the night sky. Two of the stars making up the constellation have known planets, and every star is faint enough to make Capricorn one of the faintest constellations in the sky. It can be seen best at 9 P.M. during the month of September.

I have chosen the Pegasus constellation. I chose this because I love the mythical story of the Pegasus, and have wanted one since I was a little kid.The constellation appears high in the sky towards the end of summer, and continues through fall. The a Peg, B Peg, Y Peg, and andromedae Stars make up the square of this constellation. The front legs are made of two rows of stars. This is the third biggest constellation in the sky.
