These are the 5 Easiest Constellations to See Over in New England

Stargazing late on a summer's night is the epitome of summer. Sometimes you get lucky enough to catch a shooting star, and oftentimes you are just watching the twinkle from above.

Looking for constellations, or a group of stars that create a pattern or shape, often animals and objects, is one of the most fun things to do. Showing friends and family the outline of a bear in the middle of the sky is a real crowd pleaser.

Below are the 5 easiest constellations to spot in a New England sky this summer, according to a Coos Canyon Camping article. The further north, and away from city lights, you go, the better you will be able to see these amazing star creations.

Ursa Major (The Great Bear)

Many people think the Big Dipper is a constellation, but it is not. The Big Dipper is inside the Ursa Major (also known as the Great Bear because its outline makes up a bear).

Ursa Minor (The Little Bear)

Below the Ursa Major is the Ursa Minor, also known as the Little Bear. The Little Dipper (also not a constellation), helps make up the Little Bear.

Draco (The Dragon) 

The Draco Dragon constellation is easy to find, as it slithers its way between the Big and Little Dippers.

Cassiopeia

Cassiopeia was the "vain" Queen of Ancient Aethiopia. The stars that make up this constellation form a "W" or an "M."

Cepheus

This constellation resembles a traditional house if you were to draw one on paper. Cepheus was the king of Aethiopia and husband to Cassiopeia.
