What is the constellation of July 1st?

July 1 is Cancer, and Cancer is from June 22nd to July 22nd.

Cancer is one of the darkest constellations, and the brightest star in the constellation is only 3.5. In cities with serious light pollution, it is difficult to see cancer directly with naked eyes, but its location can be determined by other bright stars around. To the east of Cancer is the head of Leo, to the northwest are the bright stars of Gemini, Beihe II and Beihe III, and to the southwest are the bright stars of Canine, Nanhe III. The area between these bright stars is Cancer.

In late winter and early spring, observers in the middle and low latitudes in the northern hemisphere can see Cancer in the higher sky in the south, avoiding the light pollution in the city. The three brightest stars in Cancer, α, β and δ, are all around 4, forming a herringbone structure. In a good environment, you can see that the six stars of Cancer are arranged in an irregular bow.

Extended data:

The myth of cancer began with the famous Hercules in ancient Greek legend. Hercules was the son of Zeus and mortal life, and Hera tried to kill him again and again. He is the greatest hero in Greece and the strongest man in the world. Even the gods conquered the giant with his help.

One day, he came to the Kingdom of Messini and was about to receive a hero's welcome. However, Hera instructed the king to give him a difficult problem-killing hydra living in the swamp. This is difficult, because every time a head is cut off, countless heads will be born immediately.

Hercules figured out a way to burn snakeheads, so he easily solved eight snakeheads. Seeing only one left, Hera flew into a rage in the sky. "Did you fail again this time?" She was unwilling, so she called a huge crab from the sea to hinder Hercules.

Cancer holds Hercules' feet with powerful pliers, but everyone knows that Hercules is the strongest man in the world. Although the crab never let go of its claws, the crab finally died under his brute force. Hera failed again, but in order to appreciate the loyal mission of Cancer, even if it didn't succeed, Hera put it in the sky and became a Cancer.
