Are all stars we can see part of a constellation? If so what is above my house?

Question

I live in London

Answer 1

Yes, with the single exception of the Sun, which moves through the ecliptic constellations over the year.

The Earth rotates, so the stars over your house are constantly moving from east to west. I assume you mean London, England. Currently (10 p.m. GMT) Perseus is directly over your house. In fact, if you look straight up, and there isn't too much light pollution, you should be able to see Comet Holmes very close to overhead!

Answer 2

If you walk outside at noon and look up you will see the same star over your house, day in and day out. It's called the Sun. It's not in a constellation.

The only two stars that appear to be stationary are in constellations: The Little Dipper and the Southern Cross. You can see the Little Dipper from your city if you look north just above the horizon. Throughout the night it will look like it's rotating. The star that is the center point of the rotation is called Polaris, or, the North Star.

Answer 3

No!

If you wait a year you can eventually see much of the Universe, assuming you have a Hubble or something similar!

I really miss London!

Answer 4

Probably most the bright ones are, but not *all* stars. And, it depends on what time you look up. As Earth rotates, the sky changes hour to hour.
