Ursa Major
The constellation Ursa Major points north. This
constellation consists of 7 stars or also called the seven
star constellation. This system of seven stars is called
the Big Dipper, because if you draw a line it will look
like a big dipper or dipper. Clusters of stars in the sky
will rotate at night. But it is different with this
constellation. Ursa Major will remain in the north
direction, precisely above the north-pole throughout
the year. The brightest star in this constellation is
Polaris, which is often referred to as the north-star or
polar star.
Crux
The constellation Crux points to the south. This
constellation consists of 4 main stars which if drawn a
line will form like a cross or a kite. In addition to 4
bright stars, in this constellation there is also 1
auxiliary star which is very small and dim when
compared to other stars. The brightest star is Alpha
Crucis or Acrux. This blue and white star was used by
ancient sailors as a guide to the south because it was
very easy to see with the naked eye.
Orion
The constellation Orion points to the west. This
constellation is also known as the hunter constellation.
It is very easy to find this constellation. If you see
three stars lined up in the western sky and surrounded
by other bright stars, that's Orion. The three parallel
stars are called Orion's belt. The brightest star in this
constellation is Alpha Orionids or Betelgeuse. This star
is depicted as the shoulder of Orion. While the second
bright star after Betelgeuse is Beta Orionids or Rigel
which is described as the foot of Orion.
Scorpio
The constellation Scorpio indicates the southeast or
east direction of the sky. This constellation is also
known as the scorpion constellation because of the
arrangement of the stars which if drawn a line will
form like a scorpion. Unlike Orion, this constellation is
a bit difficult to find in the night sky due to its large
number of stars. But if you have found one of the stars
in the constellation Scopio, you will be very easy to
draw a line to form a scorpion, because the curved
shape is very clear and the long tail is pointing to the
south. The brightest star in this constellation is Alpha
Scorpio or Antares.
