PIX4594003: Constellations of Serpens and Ophiuchus - Constellations of Serpens and Ophiuchus - The constellation of Ophiuchus separates the constellation of the Serpent into two parts. Serpens, the Serpent, is an ancient constellation, unique in being formed from two separate sections, Serpens Caput (the head of the snake) to the west and Serpens Cauda (the tail) to the east. Between them lies the constellation of Ophiuchus, the serpent holder, who is usually identified with the ancient Greek physician Asclepius, around whose shoulders or staff a snake is draped. The stars in both parts of Serpens are mostly quite faint and a snake - like shape is hard to pick out in either section. Serpens Cauda is probably easier to locate since it occupies the dusty part of the Milky Way adjoining the brighter star clouds of Scutum and Aquila / Bridgeman Images

PIX4590270: Southern cross and Coal Sack nebula - The coal bag located near the Southern Cross is a molecular cloud of a high concentration of gas and dust that absorbs almost all the visible light emitted by the stars in the background. The Coal Sack is a large dark patch lying in very rich star field of the milky way. It is a dark nebula, an interstellar dust cloud obscuring the light of the stars behind it / Bridgeman Images
PIX4590022: Constellations of Dove and Lievre - Constellations of Columba and Lepus - Constellations of Dove (near the horizon) and Lievre (above). The bright star on the left is Sirius. Columba (originally Columba Noachi, Noah's dove) is seen here low on the horizon and easily found between Sirius and Canopus - - if you live in the southern hemisphere. It is one of the smaller and less obvious constellations, with an area of 270 square degrees. Lepus (the Hare) is about the same size as Columba and rather more obvious to the eye, lying to the south of Orion. It is one of Ptolemy's 48 constellations preserved to this day / Bridgeman Images
