(by center i mean where the big bang occured, because if the universe is infinite then everywhere is the "center" but that's besides the point)

How would you describe Jupiter's path as it passes through the constellations? I know that Jupiter figures prominently in Roman and Greek mythology/religious beliefs because it is one of the brightest objects in the sky and moves through the constellations, thus inspiring the tales and exploits of Jupiter/Zeus. Can someone please explain its path through the constellations (e.g. is it seasonally consistent?) to me; in particular, when does it pass near the Hercules constellation? I understand that Jupiter does not physically pass through the constellations as clearly as I am aware that the Sun doesn't rise in the east and set in the west; this is an optical illusion produced by our fixed point in the solar system. I would like a description of its path through the constellations as it *appears* from our vantage point on Earth. I know that it features heavily in the Roman mythological stories because it is frequently visible in our night sky.

Would I recognize the constellations during the Jurassic? The Solar System orbits the center of the galaxy (as do all other stars in the galaxy) every 225 million to 250 million years. Due to the details of orbital mechanics, stars closer to the center of the galaxy would orbit faster than those further out (I think...I confess I don't know that much about the orbital mechanics of big complex systems like galaxies). My question is: if I were to travel back in time to the Jurassic (or any other time period deep in Earth's past), would I be able to recognize the constellations in the night sky, or would the stars have shifted relative to each other so much that the sky would look completely different? Or...if you don't like the concept of backwards time travel, would I recognize the constellations if I traveled 150 million or so years into the future? I understand the concept of precession, Mr. X, but that's not exactly what I meant. (Incidentally, it takes the Earth 25,765 years to make one complete precession, not 50,000). I imagine that the constellation Orion will still be recognizable in 5000 years, even if it's not in the same place in Earth's sky. What I want to know is, in 100 million years, when the Sun has made almost half of an orbit around the galaxy, will the stars that make up Orion, for example, even have the same configuration in our sky?

Was it once easier to make out the constellations than it is now? Someone told me that thirty or forty years ago, they could see a lot more stars in the sky than they can now (I guess due to pollution and such). I don't see how people can pick out constellations so well and how they first decided they look like shapes, like a lion, for instance. All those years ago in the ancient Greek or Babylonian times, did they really look like their names? Like, did Leo really look a lot more like a lion when looking up than it does now?

Stellar Constellations and their Shapes etc? I know it's possible to buy books which give us the names of the various star constellations. 'The Plough', 'The Great Dipper' etc. But there is nothing obvious that makes these individual stars join together in such constellations. How did these stars come to be known by such names ? Who and when was this decided ? And are the constellations different in shape or even in their arrangements to, say, those of the ancient Chinese, or the ancient Egyptians ? If not, how could such arrangements have been universally accepted ?
