I'm doing a project on constellations and i can't find this information:
-What time during the night is Aries best seen?
(what time at night during early spring?)
-What astronomer (person) discovered the constellation Aries?
Help would be nice and could you please cite your sources if any?

In the early spring it would be just after sunset. It's best seen in the winter sky.
No astronomer discovered it. It was imagined as a collection of stars representing a ram way back in the time of the Greeks.

As far as discovering aries, it's just a random bunch of stars someone long ago decided to imagine looked vaguely like some shape (the ram). Nobody knows who it was.
