Write about any five constellation
Dear Student,
Constellations: A small group of stars forming a recognizable pattern in the night sky is called constellations.
1. The Big Dipper/Ursa Major, 'The Great Bear' - The Ursa Major is usually the most distinguishable pattern of stars in the northern hemisphere, so it makes an exceptional origin to start our orientation. Even the most beginner stargazer is apparently familiar with the 'cup' and 'long handle' of the Big Dipper. It is most easily found during the summer months in the northernmost part of the sky.
2. The Little Dipper/Ursa Minor, 'The Little Bear' - The Ursa Major is also the key to spotting the Ursa Minor. Initiate by gazing at the two stars that form the right side of the 'cup' and follow a direct sightline due north where a brightly shining Polaris, the North Star, is observed. Polaris is the end star of the Ursa Minor's 'handle'. The handle is really the 'Little Bear's' tail, and the cup makes part of the bear's side.
3. Orion, 'The Hunter' - Orion is one of the most unchallenging constellations to locate in the night sky. Begin by viewing the hunter's belt (the 3 bright stars that form the straight line). From there you should be able to make out Betelgeuse, the bright star that form's the hunter's armpit, and follow that east along the hunter's arm, which is holding a bow.
4. Taurus, 'The Bull' - Finding Orion makes it effortless to discover the following constellation, Taurus 'The Bull.' Taurus is positioned above the Orion and is often recognized first by observing the large red star, Aldebaran, which is near the fork of the bull's horns. The bottom 'horn' is home to the Crab Nebula, and over the bull is another prominent star cluster, the Pleiades.
5. Gemini, 'The Twins' - Orion is also key to determining the constellation Gemini. The twins can be spotted overhead and to the side of the hunter's upraised arm. The constellation very much mirrors two stick figure twins with outstretched arms touching. Start by locating the two bright stars that serve as the twin-heads and the remaining of the pattern should be fairly uncomplicated to discover. Both twins have torsos arms and legs, and the twin on the left seems to be raising a leg.
Regards
