The most prominent northern winter constellations are Auriga, Canis Major, Canis Minor, Carina, Eridanus, Gemini, Monoceros, Orion and Taurus. Southern winter constellations are the same as northern summer constellations.
There are two major asterisms dominating the winter night sky: the Winter Triangle and the Winter Hexagon. The bright stars Sirius in Canis Major and Procyon in Canis Minor are part of both. The Winter Triangle is formed by these two stars with Betelgeuse in Orion, and the Winter Hexagon is formed by a total of seven stars: Sirius, Procyon, Castor and Pollux in Gemini, Capella in Auriga, Aldebaran in Taurus and Rigel in Orion.
Auriga constellation, the celestial Charioteer, hosts Capella, the sixth brightest star in the sky, and three bright open clusters catalogued by Charles Messier: Messier 36, Messier 37 and Messier 38. The constellation is easy to find in the sky because its brightest stars form a prominent pentagon shape.
The constellations Canis Major and Canis Minor harbour two of the 10 brightest stars in the sky. Sirius, the Dog Star, is the single brightest of all stars. Located in Canis Major, only 8.6 light years from Earth, Sirius is also the fifth closest star system to our own. It is a binary star system composed of an A-class main sequence star and a D-type white dwarf. With a visual magnitude of -1.46, Sirius has almost twice the brightness of Canopus, the second brightest of all stars, located in the southern constellation Carina. The bright open cluster Messier 41, easy to observe in a small telescope, can be seen near Sirius.
The Winter Triangle is an astronomical asterism formed from three of the brightest stars in the winter sky. It is an imaginary equilateral triangle drawn on the celestial sphere, with its defining vertices at Sirius, Betelgeuse, and Procyon, the primary stars in the three constellations of Canis Major, Orion, and Canis Minor, respectively.[1]
For much of the night in the northern winter, the Winter Triangle is high in the sky at mid-northern latitudes, but can also be seen during autumn in the early morning to the East. In the spring the winter triangle is visible early in the evening to the West before its stars set below the horizon. From the southern hemisphere it appears upside down and lower in the sky during the summer months.[2]
The Winter Triangle surrounds most of the faint constellation Monoceros, although its brightest stars are of fourth magnitude and hardly noticeable to the naked eye. The triangle includes two first magnitude stars, while Sirius is even brighter. The other bright stars of the winter sky lie around the triangle: Orion including Rigel; Aldebaran in Taurus; Castor and Pollux in Gemini; and Capella in Auriga.
This gorgeous original work was inspired by the tender poem of the same name by Sara Teasdale. Gentle phrases capture the wistful hope the poet felt as she contemplated the steadfast stars that burn steadily as long ago even as the world changed below. Lyrical melodies provide developing players opportunities to work on tone, slurs, and expressive playing with one easy key change from D major to G major. A tranquil winter concert selection that evokes images of shimmering stars in the cold December night sky. Absolutely beautiful!
What to look for:Two conjunctions, winter stars, and a comet! The Moon and several planets have close encounters, a new comet graces morning skies, and the stars of Northern Hemisphere winter dazzle.
Located just above this is another cluster called the Pleiades (see above), also known as the Seven Sisters because of the seven stars you can see with the naked eye. A pair of binoculars will reveal many more of the dimmer stars within each cluster.
Finally, look to the lower left of Perseus to find Auriga, the Charioteer, a prominent constellation in the winter sky. Its startlingly bright shimmering star Capella (Alpha (α) Aurigae) is a real showstopper.
The winter constellations are revered by astronomers, as they herald a season of long nights observing ahead. You will be astounded at the sights you can see from your own back garden, leaving you keen for spring to stay in the wings a little longer.
Be the star of the show with this Bigz die! Winter Stars offers two traditional stars but also an eight-pointed star for something a bit different. They work great with our Opulent Cardstocks, to add that extra shimmer and sparkle you'd expect a star to have!

It includes: Bobsled, Snowboard Cross, Short Track, Biathlon, Freeride Skiing, Downhill Skiing, Sky Flying, Snowmobile, Curling, Paraskiing and Figure Skating. The game can be played with either a Dualshock or a Move controller, however, all controls in this guide will be that of a Dualshock. The game does feature a lot of loading but on the positive side, it does also feature custom music so feel free to load up your favorite playlist from your PS3 Hard Drive and listen to your favorite tunes. Walkthrough: Step 1 - Start Career mode and win each cup and challenge. From the Main Menu, start a career. At this point you will have a map of events that you can play. You will need to win each cup and challenge. You can play on Easy difficulty. At this point avoid playing Family Mode, which does offer simplified controls, as you won't be able to earn event specific trophies for many of them. If you fail to win a cup, you will have to start over from the beginning of that cup. You do not have to win each event within the cup, just simply have the most points at the end of it. If you are down to the final event and need to win that final event in order to win the cup, you can return to the XMB and reload the game to be put back at the beginning of the event you exited from. Try to earn as many event specific trophies along the way but don't worry if you are unable to get any of them as you can earn all of them from the training menu. You will need to upgrade each of your athletes abilities to pass some of the later cups and challenges. Step 2 - Mop up At this point you will have acquired the majority of the trophies in the game. You may need to go back and replay a few events if you missed any of the trophies during your Career. You can earn all of these in Training Mode which you can access from the Team menu. You will also need to record a time, and beat it, in Time Trial which you can access from Training Mode and changing it from Competitive to Time Trial.
Perhaps you know the bright stars of the prominent constellation Orion the Hunter? This constellation is visible in the evening during Northern Hemisphere winter (Southern Hemisphere summer). The stars of mighty Orion also reside within the Orion Arm of the Milky Way. In fact, scientists named our arm of the galaxy for this constellation.
We have reached that particular time of the year when the sky is in transition and we are about to turn the page, so to speak, from the glorious wintertime stars and constellations to the somewhat dimmer stars of spring.
And the farewell to those bright winter luminaries will be quite rapid, in part due to the increasing length of daylight. Indeed, from early February through early May, the length of the daylight hours increases by an average of 2.7 minutes per day; nearly 20 minutes per week.
Reddish Betelgeuse in Orion is directly west of Procyon. It is very unlike the other three stars, being an enormous red supergiant, so huge that if it were centered in our solar system its surface would lie beyond the asteroid belt and it would swallow the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. It is by no means a next-door stellar neighbor, being some 548 light-years from us. And like virtually all other red supergiants, Betelgeuse is a variable star. Its magnitude wanders irregularly between 0.0 and 1.6.
Even more remote is blue-white Rigel, diagonally across Orion from Betelgeuse. This stellar beacon is among the most luminous in our galaxy, emitting far greater light (more than 62,000 times) than our sun. Despite its distance of some 863 light years, it manages to shine at magnitude 0.13. Incidentally, the three stars that make up the famous belt of Orion are also Rigel-type dazzlers, but are nearly twice as far away.
Located about halfway up in the western sky we can see Capella, a brilliant yellowish twinkler, 43 light-years away and shining at magnitude 0.08. If you live north of latitude +44°, this star is circumpolar and visible all year. It is the most sunlike of winter's bright stars, an exceedingly close double star whose components are slightly cooler but substantially brighter and more massive than our own star.
Climbing to a point more than halfway up in the southeastern sky is Regulus in Leo the Lion, which leads the spring constellations onto the stellar stage as the winter ones recede into the western wings. Blue-white Regulus, of magnitude 1.40 is only 79 light-years away and 316 times more luminous than the sun.
Today we know far more about the stars than early astronomers ever dared to believe. Two hundred and fifty years ago, no one had succeeded in measuring the distance to a star. And the 19th century French philosopher and mathematician, Auguste Comte (1798-1857) singled out the chemical composition of stars as something man could never know. But thanks to today's technology, we can combine our appreciation of the beauty of the stars with an understanding of what they truly are. 59ce067264
