Equatorial Constellations

Equatorial constellations are a group of 15 star patterns that intersect the celestial equator, an imaginary line that divides the sky into northern and southern hemispheres. These constellations serve as a cosmic bridge, visible from most locations on Earth and playing a crucial role in celestial navigation and our understanding of the night sky.
