An overview of all 88 constellations
As described in the article constellations and zodiac signs, a constellation is an area of the sky that has been determined based on a conspicuous grouping of stars. Many constellations have existed since ancient times and were important for orientation.
Certain factors must be considered to find a particular constellation in the night sky because many are only visible from specific locations on the earth. For example, the constellation Pegasus is visible from the northern hemisphere, while Centaur can only be seen in southern regions. The time of year and the time of day also play an essential role when observing constellations.
