2. Ursa Minor (The Little Bear): Located near Ursa Major, this constellation contains Polaris, the North Star, which is the brightest star in the constellation.
3. Orion (The Hunter): Easily identified by its distinctive belt of three stars, Orion is a prominent constellation in the winter sky. It also features Betelgeuse (red supergiant) and Rigel (blue supergiant), two of the brightest stars in the night sky.
4. Taurus (The Bull): This constellation features the red giant star Aldebaran, which forms the bull's eye. It is also home to the Pleiades star cluster (also known as the Seven Sisters), a beautiful collection of young, hot stars.
