The Spring Constellations are the 15 constellations that fall between 12 hours and 18 hours

Right Ascension. Ursa Major, or the Great Bear, is well known in English speaking countries
as the Big Dipper. M13, the most famous globular cluster in the northern sky, can be found
in Hercules.

The Trapezium or Orion Trapezium Cluster, also known by its Bayer

designation of Theta1 Orionis, is a tight open cluster of stars in the heart of the Orion Nebula, in
the constellation of Orion. It was discovered by Galileo Galilei. On February 4, 1617 he sketched
three of the stars (A, C, D), but missed the surrounding nebulosity.[2][3][4]The fourth component (B) was
identified by several observers in 1673, and several more components were discovered later, for a
total of eight by 1888. Subsequently several of the stars were determined to be binaries. Telescopes
of amateur astronomers from about 5 inch aperture can resolve six stars under
good seeing conditions.[5]
The Trapezium is a relatively young cluster that has formed directly out of the parent nebula. The
five brightest stars are on the order of 15-30 solar masses in size. They are within a diameter of
1.5 light-years of each other and are responsible for much of the illumination of the surrounding
nebula. The Trapezium may be a sub-component of the larger Orion Nebula Cluster, a grouping of
about 2,000 stars within a diameter of 20 light-years
Cygnus /sns/ is a northern constellation lying on the plane of the Milky Way, deriving its name
from the Latinized Greek word for swan. The swan is one of the most recognizable constellations of
the northern summer and autumn, and it features a prominent asterism known as the Northern
Cross (in contrast to the Southern Cross). Cygnus was among the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd
century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations.
Cygnus contains Deneb, one of the brightest stars in the night sky and one corner of the Summer
Triangle, as well as some notable X-ray sources and the giant stellar association of Cygnus OB2.
One of the stars of this association, NML Cygni, is one of the largest stars currently known. The
constellation is also home to Cygnus X-1, a distant X-ray binary containing a supergiant and unseen
massive companion that was the first object widely held to be a black hole. Many star systems in
Cygnus have known planets as a result of the Kepler Mission observing one patch of the sky, the
patch is the area around Cygnus. In addition, most of the eastern part of Cygnus is dominated by
the HerculesCorona Borealis Great Wall, a giant galaxy filament that is the largest known structure
in the observable universe; covering most of the northern sky.
