| Orion and the Great Bear are two of the most prominent asterisms visible from the northern hemisphere. |
| Two of the most famous asterisms in astronomy, the Big and Little Dippers hover above the pine trees at Carranza Field in the New Jersey Wharton State Forest. |
| The sun, the stars and the planets and the asterisms are all your form with all the living beings contained in them. |
| In order to obtain more convenient intervals, the Egyptians subdivided each of their asterisms into three parts, or decans. |
