Sagittarius

You can see the constellation Sagittarius at different times of the year depending on where you are in the world. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you can see it during the summer months; if you live in the Southern hemisphere, then it's visible during the winter months. The Greeks and Romans thought the constellation resembled a centaur shooting an arrow into the nearby constellation Scorpius. People nowadays often recognize it as resembling a teapot and consider it easier to find when looking for that figure.
