Constellations by Month

While these constellations are best seen during the months under which they are listed, many constellations are still visible during other times of the year. For example, Orion is visible from November through February in the Northern Hemisphere, but it can be most clearly seen during the month of January and is therefore categorized as a January constellation. This extended period of visibility is caused by the fact that it usually takes more than 30 days for a constellation to set below the horizon in a particular hemisphere.

Constellations are also listed by region and alphabetical order.
