There is a nice picture at http://www.allthesky.com/constellations/鈥?/a>



The bluish glow near the horizon is light pollution from a town.



The yellowish band just below the red blotch on the right is part of the Milky Way, the light from the stars from a neighboring spiral arm of our Galaxy. In fact, if you look closely around the red blotch, you see that it is embedded in a darker cloud that sits in front of the band of light. That is interstellar dust.



Below the Milky Way is a group of 8 brighter stars that form a figure called the Teapot (an asterism is a group of stars that is not an official constellation).

From our light-polluted cities, the teapot is often the only part of Sagittarius that we can easily see.

Jupiter is presently just above the teapot (it is not shown on this picture, but you can see it easily these days, when you go outside as it gets dark -- to the southeast if you live in the northern hemisphere).



If you live south of the tropics (southern Australia, Africa, South America), then you'll have to turn the picture upside down.



While you are looking at the picture, note the menu on the left. Click on "Visual view with lines" and the teapot will be marked with lines.



Enjoy. Go outside and look at it. Use binoculars if you have them. Maybe it will inspire you for your paper (save a paragraph to explain how you found it and what you saw).Where can I find information about the Zodiac Constellation Sagittarius?
