Constellation Serpens (The Serpent)

Serpens or The Serpent is one of the 88 constellations modern astronomers have divided the sky into. It's part of the Hercules constellation family. Serpens is best seen in July (from latitudes +80° to -80°)

Serpens represents a huge snake held by the constellation Ophiuchus. In terms of its shape, the constellation somewhat resembles the constellation of Hydra, on which it is loosely based, but with the major difference being that Serpens has a distinct “head”, whereas Hydra has no such mark. The constellation’s brightest stellar object, Unukalhai, is a giant orange star around 75 light years from Earth. Eighteen main stars make up the shape.
