Answer to Problem 1CC

Solution:

No, as it is very far away from the asterism.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A collection of stars can be classified using two distinctions, constellation and asterism. Constellation is an officially recognized area in the sky occupied by the stars, whereas asterism is not an officially recognized area.

Explanation:

Jupiter is not present in the asterism which comprises the outline of the body of “the bull”. This is because Jupiter is present very far away from the asterism, and is present only in the rectangular boundary of Taurus the Bull.

Conclusion:

Therefore, Jupiter is not within the boundary of the Taurus.
