Andromeda
Andromeda is one of the 48 constellations described by the Greco-Roman astronomer Claudius Ptolemy and one of the 88 modern constellations. Andromeda is found on the northern sky dome, between right ascension 22h56m and 2h36m, declination +21° and +53°. It is partly circumpolar at the latitude of the Benelux.
Aquarius
Aquarius is a fairly inconspicuous constellation on the celestial equator. It lies between right ascension 20h36m and 23h54m and between declination +3° and −25°. The ecliptic passes through Aquarius, which is part of the zodiac. The Sun is in this zodiac sign from February 16 to March 12 every year.
Aquila
Aquila is a constellation located in the sky of the Milky Way, between right ascension 6:40 pm and 8:35 pm, declination +19° and −12°.
The Milky Way is split into two parts here by dark clouds. The constellation, which can easily be found in the southern sky on summer evenings due to the very bright star Altair, is located in an area that is already teeming with stars when viewed through small binoculars.
