Question

Where and when can you view sagittarius?

Answer 1

right after uranus

Answer 2

Sagittarius is a summer constellation --- the best time of the year is August to see it at 9pm. Sagittarius is also a Southern constellation: if you're in North America, it can be seen roughly towards the south and will not rise very high on the sky.

You can find out the shape the stars in Sagittarius make

by checking it at http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constel...

by buying a planisphere (star wheel)

by looking up a magazine like "Sky & Telescope" or "Astronomy".

or by buying a book on stars and constellations.

Some people have likened this shape to a tea-pot, which might help you remember once you've seen a picture. If you're not familiar with the summer sky, you might want to start by locating the neighboring constellation, Scorpius, which I find is easier to spot, then look to its left.

Answer 3

Assuming you are in north America and not too far north, go outside and look for a bright "star", that's Jupiter, There will be a group of stars that resemble a teapot next to it.  That is a part of the Sagittarius constellation.

Answer 4

I always see him in the winter...  You can't miss it.
