Orion is my favorite constellation because it is one of the easiest to find and most recognizable. This makes it one of the most popular constellations. Orion's belt includes the three brightest stars in the sky. In the Northern Hemisphere, Orion is a fall and winter constellation, visible from November to February. One of Orion's "stars" is actually a nebula, the Orion nebula.

My favorite constellation would have to be Orion. I chose this because I've always thought it would be cool to be shooting down starry prey while soaring among the stars. Orion is a hunter. He is forever in the stars hunting down meals and criminals. To me, Orion seemed like a tough guy. He's by himself in the stars, waiting for someone or something to come his way and end his seemingly endless lonely universe. That's why I chose Orion and a little information on this great hunter.

My favorite constellation is Orion. The reasoning behind it being that I just love the goddess Artemis, and she is the one who, according to legend, created the constellation. An interesting fact about Orion is that the man of which it is shaped is the only man Artemis has ever loved.

Orion, also called The Hunter is my favorite constellation because it is perhaps the most prominent and well-known constellation, anywhere in the world, because its stars are so bright that it is possible to observe with the naked eye. Orion is located near the constellation Eridanus River and supported by his two hunting dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor fighting constellation Taurus.

This was a constellation I learned about on my own when I was younger. We had Greek Week at school where we were broken up into groups and given an ancient town. My group had Athens, so we recreated the city and we did “battle” with the other cities. Our teacher set up many educational and fun games that week. It was then that I really fell in love with mythology. I found various versions of the story of Cygnus the Swan, but this one always stuck with me.

I've chosen the Canis Major constellation, I've chosen this one because I fancy dogs and I love the name Sirius and the star by itself; Canis Major contains Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, known as the "dog star", its bright because of its proximity to our Solar System. The constellation is best visible at 21:00 (9 p.m.) during the month of February and visible at latitudes between +60° and −90°.

My favorite constellation is Orion, because of its rich history within Greek mythology and its ability to assist locators in finding others stars and constellations. Orion is most visible during the months between January and March. The stars that form Orion's belt are Alnilam, Mintaka and Alnitak.

The constellation I have chosen is the constellation Hydrus. It was originally established by dutchman Petrus Plancius prior to 1603 and is located in the southern hemisphere. While it is composed of three main stars arranged in a vaguely triangular shape, it contains many over twenty one celestial bodies. Some of the stars are known to have planets in their orbit. I chose it because of its pleasing shape and its association with water snakes, of which I am especially fond.

Personally, my favorite constellation happens to be the Leo constellation. I imagine that the main reasoning behind this preference is simply that it was the first constellation that I had ever heard of, due to my mother's sudden talk of zodiac signs. Then, of course, she soon informed me that it was actually my zodiac sign. I found it to be a rather nice thing to learn at a young age. Of course, there is far more to the constellation than just being my zodiac sign. It's brightest star is Regulus, and Leo is also best seen during the month of April.

The constellation of choice is Taurus because I am a Taurus and therefor wanted to learn more about the constellation and myself through it. The Word "Taurus" is Latin for "The Bull" and the constellation itself is located in the northern hemispheres winter sky. It has been around since The Bronze Age, making it one of the oldest constellations. It has had great agricultural influence and has been told about in myths of Romans, Greeks, and many more. It has 2 of the closest Open Clusters to Earth and holds the red star Aldebaran.

My favorite constellation is Libra, because it is the constellation of my son's zodiac. Libra is the Latin word for 'weighing scales,' and it's symbol is the scales. It lies between Virgo and Scorpio. The brightest Libra stars form a quadrangle. There are "at least" six planets within Libra.

The story behind Gemini starts with two twin brothers, Castor and Polydeuces. Their mother’s name was Leda, the Queen of Sparta. They are called “twins” but they have different fathers.Tyndareus, the King of Sparta, was Castor’s father, so that made Castor was a mortal. Zeus was the father of Polydeuces, that made him a demigod (half human half god).

The mythology surrounding the constellation Gemini is about two twin brothers Castor and Pollux. Their mother was Leda who was the wife of King Tyndareus of Sparta. Leda was impregnated by both Zeus in the form of a swan and her husband the same night. Which caused Pollux to be immortal and his brother Castor to be mortal. Their mother Leda had two other children Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra. Pollux was known for his great strength while Castor was famous for his skill with horses. Both of the brothers would search for the Golden Fleece as Argonauts and fight in the Trojan War to bring Helen home to her husband Menelaus. In mythology they are depicted as being armed with spears and riding matching white horses. Castor was killed in the Trojan

My favorite constellation is Sagittarius because not only is it my horoscope, it has my favorite star in it. Kaus Astraulis. In fact, this star is the brightest in the constellation. It's many times larger than our Sun, and despite being so bright, it's one hundred and forty five years away from us. Back to the topic of Sagittarius, it also has my favorite mythological creature in it- a centaur drawing its bow.

The constellation I have chosen is taurus ,the bull, one of the constellation's of the zodiac located in the northern hemisphere.
