Answer 1

Answer:

January Constellations

The constellations best seen in January are Caelum, Dorado, Lepus, Mensa, Orion, Pictor, Reticulum and Taurus. Two of these constellations – Orion and Taurus – are quite prominent in the evening sky, while others are simply best observed at this time of year. Orion, Taurus and Lepus are northern constellations, located in the first quadrant of the northern hemisphere, while others lie in the first quadrant south of the celestial equator.

January is the best time of year to observe a number of famous deep sky objects located in these constellations. The most popular telescope targets include the Orion Nebula (M43), the Crab Nebula (M1), the Pleiades (M45) and Hyades clusters, and the Large Magellanic Cloud.
