Could you please tell me the positions of the major constellations in the night sky? It would be best to have pictures. Thank you.

The main constellations in the spring starry sky are: Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Leo, Bo?tes, Hound, Virgo, Corvus, and Hydra

Summer is a good time for stargazing. After dark, look to the west and you will find the constellation Leo. To the east of Leo is Virgo. In the south of the sky, a bright red star shines in the lower sky. It is Antares, the main star of Scorpio and a bright star on the ecliptic. The obvious feature of Scorpio is that there are three stars equidistantly arranged in an arc, with Antares exactly in the center of the circle. In ancient Chinese astronomy, Scorpio belongs to the Shang star, and Orion belongs to the Shen star. They happen to rise and fall, never to meet each other, so a poet said: "If we don't meet each other in life, our movements are like participating in business." To the east of Scorpio is the constellation Sagittarius. There are six stars in the eastern half of Sagittarius, which is called the South Dipper. ．

In the starry sky between Scorpio and Sagittarius, there is a vast white band of light, which is the Milky Way. Looking northeast along the Milky Way, you can see Vega and Altair with two small stars on the left and right next to a quadrilateral. A bright star forming a triangle with these two bright stars is Deneb. It forms a cross with other stars in the constellation Cygnus to which it belongs, making it easy to identify.

The Big Dipper is in the northwest sky at this time. After finding the constellation Bootes, towards the east, almost at the zenith, there is a semicircular constellation called Corona Borealis, which is like a jewel-encrusted constellation. Crown, there are a lot of galaxies gathered here

The starry sky on autumn nights is clear and transparent, which is also a good opportunity to watch stars.

On the southwest horizon, the constellation Sagittarius is already hanging there diagonally. The ancient book says: "The North Dipper is in the dark and the South Dipper is tilted" refers to this. In the western sky, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are still whispering, and Deneb is making light bulbs there. But in the south, there is only one lonely bright star, Fomalhaut. Two bright stars rose in the northeast corner: Capella (the main star of Auriga) and Aldebaran (the main star of Taurus).

The starry sky on the autumn night is full of princes and nobles: fairy kings, fairy queens, fairies, immortals, pegasus and whales.

To the east of the zenith is Pegasus. Andromeda is a straight-shaped constellation northeast of Pegasus. To the north of Andromeda is the W-shaped Cassiopeia. To the west of Cassiopeia is Cepheus and to the east is Perseus.

Algol in Perseus is a famous eclipse variable star. There is a long-period variable star in the constellation Cetus called Zeng Er (I can’t type those two words).

Between Perseus and Cassiopeia is the Perseus Double Star Cluster. Andromeda has a famous large galaxy: the Andromeda Nebula. This is a galaxy much larger than the Milky Way, and it is also the closest galaxy to us in the northern half of the sky

Although winter is cold, the starry sky is extremely magnificent.

Orion is the center of the winter starry sky.

At the latitude of Xiamen, after nightfall, you can see three neatly arranged bright stars. Folks say that they are the "three stars shining brightly". There are four bright stars and three stars surrounding the three stars forming a rectangle, which is Orion. Samsung is Orion's belt.

Extend the Samsung connection to the lower left, and you will encounter the brightest star in the sky: Sirius. It is the main star of the constellation Canis Major. Extending from Samsung to the upper right is the bright red star Aldebaran. Next to it is Capella.

To the southeast of Taurus is Gemini, to the east is Cancer, and further to the east is the head of the lion.

To the southwest of Orion is the long, huge but very dim constellation Eridanus. The main star is Mercury, which can only be vaguely seen in Guangdong. Directly south of Orion is Lepus and Columba. To the south is Canopus, the main star of Carina.

Below the three stars of Orion, there is a bright spot, which is the Orion Nebula. Next to the leftmost star of the three stars is the Horsehead Nebula. The Pleiades star cluster in Taurus is a very beautiful open star cluster. Composed of about 500 stars
