Equuleus Constellation Map

image

Légende : The constellation Equuleus with its brighter stars and surrounding constellations. Equuleus is surrounded by (going clockwise from the top): Delphinus, Aquarius and Pegasus. It is a relatively small constellation with few bright stars. Equuleus lies just north of the celestial equator and thus the whole constellation is visible at some point in the year to all but the most antarctic regions. Equuleus is best viewed in the evening in the early northern hemisphere autumn and early southern hemisphere spring. The y-axis of this diagram is in degrees of declination with north as up and the x-axis is in hours of right ascension with east to the left. The sizes of the stars marked here relate to the star's apparent magnitude, a measure of its apparent brightness. The larger dots represent brighter stars. The Greek letters mark the brightest stars in the constellation. These are ranked by brightness with the brightest star being labeled alpha, the second brightest beta, etc., although this ordering is not always followed exactly. The dotted boundary lines mark the IAU's boundaries of the constellations and the solid green lines mark one of the common forms used to represent the figures of the constellations. Neither the constellation boundaries, nor the lines joining the stars appear on the sky.

Lynx Constellation Map

image

Légende : Lynx is a northern constellation and thus the whole constellation is visible at some point in the year throughout the northern hemisphere. The whole constellation is also visible in equatorial regions of the southern hemisphere with parts of the constellation visible in southern temperate regions. Lynx is best viewed in the evenings in the northern hemisphere winter and southern hemisphere summer. The y-axis of this diagram is in degrees of declination with north as up and the x-axis is in hours of right ascension with east to the left. The sizes of the stars marked here relate to the star's apparent magnitude, a measure of its apparent brightness. The larger dots represent brighter stars. The Greek letters mark the brightest stars in the constellation. These are ranked by brightness with the brightest star being labeled alpha, the second brightest beta, etc., although this ordering is not always followed exactly. The dotted boundary lines mark the IAU's boundaries of the constellations and the solid green lines mark one of the common forms used to represent the figures of the constellations. The blue line at the bottom right of the diagram marks the ecliptic. Neither the constellation boundaries, nor the line marking the ecliptic, nor the lines joining the stars appear on the sky.

Pyxis is a southern constellation and thus the whole constellation is visible at some point in the year throughout the southern hemisphere. The whole constellation is also visible in equatorial and some temperate regions of the northern hemisphere with parts of the constellation visible to the remaining temperate regions of the northern hemisphere.

Volans Constellation Map

image

Légende : The constellation Volans with its bright stars and surrounding constellations. Volans is surrounded by (going clockwise from the top): Carina, Pictor, Dorado, Mensa and Chamaeleon. Volans is a southern constellation and thus the whole constellation is visible at some point in year throughout the southern hemisphere. The whole constellation is also visible to a strip of the northern hemisphere near the equator. Volans is best viewed in the evening in the late northern hemisphere winter and late southern hemisphere summer. The y-axis of this diagram is in degrees of declination with north as up and the x-axis is in hours of right ascension with east to the left. The sizes of the stars marked here relate to the star's apparent magnitude, a measure of its apparent brightness. The larger dots represent brighter stars.
