What constellations can be seen and where to look for them.

A new interesting thread has appeared on Twitter. He explains how to navigate the night sky and learn to see the constellations. Here's what you can see until 1 am in late June - mid-July:

5. These three constellations are the easiest to navigate. if you are lucky and you see the milky way, then follow it with your gaze to the horizon to the right; if not, then mentally connect the swan and the lyre and continue this line. we ran into the zodiac, namely the archer.

11. Let's go back a little to the left and higher - in a good sky there is Veronica's hair, as if sprinkled with sugar, a pale cluster, not the most interesting kmk. before the bear there will be only hounds, but these are literally two stars - and, in fact, the bear. (see previous picchu)

14. A dragon bends around both bears, it is not very bright and very large, so I will say about the head - this is a strange quadrangle on the right side of the little bear, then it goes upward like a snake, passes between the bears - it's worth trying to find.

All this can be seen until about mid-July, then other constellations can be observed in Russia (although what is at its zenith will not go anywhere by the end of summer).

23. * clapping hands * my favorite piece of heaven !!!

sometimes Greek myths help to navigate the constellations - almost a quarter of the sky is occupied by the myth of Perseus. passing to the left and looking up from the zodiac, we find ourselves in a pegasus.

This is just a fraction of what you can see - a complete guide to the most prominent constellations in the original.
