What's your favorite constellation?

Question

What's your favorite constellation?

Answer 1

I have always liked Orion. It is a monstrosity in the sky and it has several stars, if you will; Betelgeus, Rigel and that belt with all the nebula.

Answer 2

Pleiades (the seven sisters) is one of my favorites. It's easy to locate and looks amazing through a pair of binoculars. It was one of the first astronomical sights that I ever observed on a regular basis.

Answer 3

Orion

Answer 4

I think mine would be Taurus, mainly because of the Pleiades star cluster.

Answer 5

I like Orion. And the little and big dippers. They're the only ones that I can ever find...

Answer 6

I love the constellation Orion. It has a interesting story behind it, and is relatively easy to find.

Answer 7

Orion's belt...im simple

Answer 8

Ursa Major

Answer 9

Orion

.

Answer 10

Libra...It's the first one I see when I step outside at night, It comforts me because that's something in my life that never changes, no matter what else does.

Answer 11

Orion's belt. It's the easiest to spot on a crisp, clear night in the winter skies. {At least it is in the northern hemisphere}.

But the one I LOVE, but can't always find is Sirius. I find the star, but can't always connect the dots.

Answer 12

Orion.

And I always see his faithful dog Sirius at his heels and the "eye of the bull" (Aldebaran in Taurus) charging him. If I look a little higher to the west are the Seven Sisters (the Pleiades) the nymphs that Artemis flung up there to keep her lost lover company. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis

There's a whole story up there every clear winter night. I can never look and not see the whole scene.

Answer 13

Telescopium, the only constellation with no stars.

Answer 14
