The question is unclear. Constellations are simply areas of sky and don't have an unambiguous "brightness." The star with the brightest apparent magnitude is in Canis Major, so that's as good an answer as any other.
That would have to be the "sword" in Orion.
Look south in the early evening during the winter months. Orion is a very large rectangle of bright stars.
The most instantly recognizable feature will be three relatively bright stars in a straight line, representing
the hunter's 'belt', and the 'sword' is a long skinny hazy patch hanging down from the belt. You can see the
haziness with the naked eye, and begin to appreciate the nebulosity with any kind of telescope or binoculars.
This really various depending on where you are, however all together, it is very hard to know. If you merely look in the right place, you will instantly see thousands upon thousands of stars, using a telescope however, this then becomes millions.
This cant be calculated accurately, because it would be easy to recount a star, however as technology progresses, we might know fully.
Astronomers estimate there are about 100 thousand million stars in the Milky Way alone.
All of them, if you know the sky well enough.
Were you standing on the north pole looking straight up, Polaris would be directly overhead. Consequently if you are anywhere in the northern hemisphere, Polaris indicates north.
According to PlanetFinder you can see Mars and Venus in the eastern sky, and Jupiter in the western sky in late July 2009. You can see them with the naked eye. See the website http://www.lightandmatter.com/area2planet.shtml
That link didn't work but I have one that should help. Jupiter and two(?) of its moons are visible tonight. www.space.com/spacewatch/sky_calendar.html
All planets are visible in the night sky, depending on time, you can only see certain plants in certain parts of the world. You have to be somewhere completely dark with no city lights. Planets can be told apart from stars because stars tend to "twinkle'' and planets do not.
The link for StarDate (below) will give a day-by-day guide to what planets are visible.
Astronomical visibility from the South Pole is some of the best on earth. The view is through the largest part of the galaxy toward the Southern Hemisphere of stars. From there, depending on the season, you can see such constellations as:
Southern Circumpolar Constellations
Southern Spring Constellation
Southern Summer Constellations
This list is according to a Google search for Southern Hemisphere Constellations.
At any given point on Earth, the point directly overhead will have the same declination as your latitude position (+ for north latitude, - for south latitude). You can see approximately 90 degrees north and south from that assuming there are no obstacles (mountains, buildings, trees, etc.) on the horizon. So, if you live at latitude 40 N, then +40 declination would be directly overhead. For you, stars with declinations higher than +40 appear to never set. To the south, it's trickier, because what's visible depends not only on declination but on the right ascension and the time of year, but any star with a declination of higher than -50 should be above the horizon at SOME point during the year.
According to (See Related Links), the following Constallations can be seen on different seasons in the night sky:
* Canis Major * Cetus * Eridanus * Gemini * Lynx * Perseus * Taurus * Anguilla
* Cygnus * Hercules
* Lyra * Ophiuchus
* Sagittarius
* Scorpius * Andromeda * Aqarius * Caprinicus * Pegasus * Pisces * Bootes * Cancer * Crater * Hydra * Leo * Virgo
There are 88 "officially recognized" constellations, according to the International Astronomical Union, the IAU. Everybody will have their own favorites, of course, but in my opinion the top two "most commonly known" constellations include the Big Dipper and Orion the Hunter.
Beyond that, there are twelve "signs of the Zodiac", constellations that lie along the ecliptic.
The constellations are different due to the fact that you're looking completely different parts of the sky. However, some constellations which are directly above the Earth's equatorial regions remain the same.
Some of them, yes. Constellations along the Zodiac can be seen from either hemisphere, but constellations well away from the celesial equator cannot be seen very far in the other hemisphere. For example, Ursa Major is not visible in Australia, and the Southern Cross is not visible in Europe or North America. Most of the "official" constellations were named by northern hemisphere astronomers, or European navigators sailing in southern waters. Look at how many southern hemisphere constellations have a nautical theme; the Telescope, the Octant, the Quadrant. Even Cetus, the Whale, was named by sailors, not people who LIVED there.
Northern Hemisphere
It is in Europe and Europe is in the Northern hemisphere.
There is one zodiac constellation that is not included in the traditional zodiac calendar. That constellation is Ophiuchus, and it lies between Scorpius and Sagittarius. This means there are 13 zodiac constellations. Constellations cannot be "hidden," so to speak. They are a fabrication of the human mind and would not exist elsewhere in the universe as we see them on Earth. Currently, we have 88 constellations (some of which are Northern hemisphere constellations, others of which are Southern hemisphere constellations) and their boundaries (constellations are not just the stars that make up a shape, but every celestial object in a defined region in the sky) fill the entire sky.
no
the constellations are located every were in the northern hemisphere.
Northern Hemisphere
46
There are 37.
first question, how many asses can you find in your dick, then there is your answer, NONE
No. One of the better known constellations in the northern hemisphere is the big dipper. People in the southern hemisphere can't see this. In the south the well known constellation is the southern cross, and you can't see this in the northern hemisphere.
52, and there is also 5 constellations on the Celestial equator, it is don`t class as northern or southern hemisphere constellations.
Too many to mention - there are about 88 officially recognized constellations and more than 2/3rds of them can be seen from the Northern Hemisphere.
Greenland is part of the northern hemisphere
There are approximately 88 constellations in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere combine.
the ocean that is not found in the northern hemisphere is the antartica ocean
