Answer 1

nope

Answer 2

It appears to be on the bottom right corner. Aries is only 3 stars. And only two that are particularly visible.

Here is a map of it: http://home.xtra.co.nz/hosts/Wingmakers/...

It appears to match the three stars in a near straight line in the bottom right of the picture.

generally, I do this when I look at the sky...

1) find either the big dipper or scorpio - they are both gorgeous and easy to find.

2) If I can see scorpio I look to the left to find Sagittarius' bow just shy of the scorpion's tail (right now the moon is in saggitarius, BTW - 8/13/2008, along w/ Jupiter), then I move left again and see the jumbled stars of capricorn. one more slice of sky left and there are the strange lines of pisces. And in to the left of Pisces you might be able to make out Aries. It's particularly hard to find.

3) If I can only find the big dipper, it's easy enough to find Leo by following a line from where the handle touches the pot, through the bottom of the pot and into leos tail. From Leo, move right you might not easily see Gemini Either, but Taurus is easy - to the right of Taurus you look for Aries. You can't really use that method at this time of year, at least not where I am... California. In fact, I don't really expect you to be seeing aries much at all this time of year.

Answer 3

no, sorry.

Answer 4
