1 CONSTELLATIONS HOPE YOU LIKE IT

2 LEO Leo contains several bright stars making it one of the most recognizable constellations in the night sky. In the Northern hemisphere the constellation can be seen from January to June.

3 ORION THE HUNTER Orion is a character from Greek mythology, a giant hunter who was placed in the stars by Zeus upon his death. Orion is visible in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

4 URSA MAJOR The shape of Ursa Major is a great bear. The big dipper is an asterism, which are stars which form simple patterns but are not constellations. Ursa Major is Latin for Great Bear, although the constellation is based on Greek mythology.

5 PEGASUS Pegasus is a large constellation and easily identifiable due to its bright asterism known as the ‘square of Pegasus.’ In 1995 the first exoplanet known to orbit a sun like star was discovered in the constellation of Pegasus.
