1. Ursa Major (The Great Bear): This is one of the most recognizable constellations in the Northern Hemisphere. It's shaped like a big dipper, with the two stars at the end of the dipper's bowl pointing towards Polaris, the North Star.

2. Orion (The Hunter): This constellation is easily identified by its three stars that form Orion's belt, and the two bright stars that mark his shoulders. It's visible in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
