When is the constellation CANCER the most visible and from where can I see it the best ?

I read, that it is the most visible in March at 21pm (having this meridian on 10th March)





What do you think and would you please tell me from which countries can I see it the BEST ?


I know Cancer is not so bright as Leo or Scorpio...





Thx for answerin!|||Now is a good time if you like to stay up late. Spring is a good time if you like to go to bed early.





Cancer is one of the more northern constellations of the zodiac, hence it can be viewed well from tropical and northern hemisphere locations. In southern countries such as Australia and South America, it remains low in the sky and is not so easy to view.





Cancer is a fairly small constellation without bright stars, although it contains a good binocular open cluster and a number of interesting deep sky objects for a telescope. In really dark skies, the open cluster is an obvious object even with the naked eye.





Contrary to popular (or populist) opinion, the sun is not in Cancer in late June. That is an astrological construct based on the seasons as they were thousands of years ago. Today, the sun is in the constellation of Cancer in late July and the first half of August. One to two months before this, Cancer will be visible in the evening sky before sunset, but in the northern hemisphere sunset is very late at this time of year. We are currently nearing the time where the sun is on the opposite side of the sky from Cancer, so that it is high in the sky at midnight and low in east at sunset.|||Cancer is visible about 10 months of the year, as long as the Sun isn't in it or close to it. It is in the evening sky most of the spring. It is visible from anywhere in the world except south of the antarctic circle.





There is no such time as "21pm." Time is measured on a 12-hour clock as "a.m." and "p.m." or on a 24-hour clock without "a.m." or "p.m."|||Hi, Lemmygit,.., Actually, about now would be a good time to see it, as it should rise,in the east sometime around sunset, %26amp; be up all night, %26amp; set around sunrise, I arrived at these calculations, in the following way,..The Sun is "IN" the sign of Cancer from late June, until late July,..That means that Cancer is on the other side of the sun, in that period, So it would rise at sunrise, %26amp; set at sunset So it would be "UP" all day, %26amp; down all night,..So logically,since the Earth travels around the sun, in a years time, then in the period of late December, through January the Earth should be "between" Cancer %26amp; the sun, so, Cancer would rise around sunset, .%26amp; be up all night, %26amp; set about sunrise during late December, through late January,..So, since it is now, late January, %26amp; since the constellations all rise a few minutes earlier every day, due to the movement of the Earth around the sun, Cancer should be a bit above the eastern horizon at sunset, %26amp; be up all night, as it passes, from east to west, accross the sky, during the night, to set, perhaps a bit before sunrise,..Keep in mind that it will rise %26amp; set a few minutes ea
