Detailed explanation-1: -What’s a constellation? A constellation is a group of stars that appears to form a pattern or picture like Orion the Great Hunter, Leo the Lion, or Taurus the Bull. Constellations are easily recognizable patterns that help people orient themselves using the night sky.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Pleiades star cluster – famously known as the Seven Sisters or, to some, M45 – is visible from virtually every part of the globe. It’s seen from as far north as the North Pole and farther south than the southernmost tip of South America. It looks like a tiny misty dipper of stars.
Detailed explanation-3: -As the Earth revolves around the Sun, the patterns of the stars appear to move. Explanation: The Earth completes its orbit around the Sun or its revolution in about 365 days total. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, the position of the Earth changes and this creates the different views of the night sky.
Detailed explanation-4: -Orion’s seven brightest stars form a distinctive hourglass-shaped asterism, or pattern, in the night sky. Four stars-Rigel, Betelgeuse, Bellatrix, and Saiph-form a large roughly rectangular shape, at the center of which lies the three stars of Orion’s Belt-Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka.
