What constellation is directly over the Tigris & Euphrates area?

you can also include (Mesopotamia, Eden, and Nile) in that area.





i have search the internet for a answer, but haven't been able to find a straightforward, clear one.|||bcuz there is no one answer.





which constellation is overhead varies by the time of day.|||There isn't an answer, because the Earth turns, so different constellations would be overhead at different times.





The only places on Earth you could reasonably ask this question about would be the North and South Poles, but even there, due to precession of the Earth's axis, the spot in the sky the poles point to gradually changes over a period of 26,000 years.





If you wanted to know what constellation was overheard there at a particular moment in time, then there would be an answer. You could find that out with some kind of planetarium software.





I found a list of such software, which I've included below. Some of the programs are free, but I haven't tried them and can't make any recommendations.|||That depends upon what time if day (or night) it is. As the Earth rotates, the constellations move across the sky just like the Sun and the Moon do.


.|||Visible constellations over an area change as per time,day and month.


So Iraq is not different.


If you want to know that for a particular date and time, use SKY AND Telescopes interactive sky chart,set longitude and latitude of the location and find out.
