What time would the constellation carina be visible in johnstown?

In the USA alone, we see cities, towns, or villages of Johnstown in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, and Colorado.
As it turns out, we don't have to concern ourselves with the problem of which one the question is referring to, as
the answer is the same for any of them.
The brightest star in the constellation Carina is Canopus ... second brightest star in the night sky, after Sirius,
and often used as a reference target for automated spacecraft navigation. Canopus is just about the
northernmost extent of the constellation Carina ... the rest of the constellation is south of Canopus.
The celestial declination of Canopus is -52.7 degrees. What that means is that if you're north of latitude
37-18N, then Canopus ... and the rest of Carina ... is never above your horizon.
That latitude is roughly the line across San Jose CA, Durango CO, Coffeeville KS, Springfield MO,
Paducah KY, and Roanoke VA. ON this line, Canopus just touches the horizon. North of the line, it's
never visible.
So, none of Carina is ever visible from any of the Johnstowns that we were able to find in the US. Sorry.

The constellation Carina is best visible in the Southern Hemisphere between January and March, reaching its highest point in the sky around midnight. In Johnstown, you might be able to see it in the early hours of the morning during these months. Use a stargazing app to get more accurate timings based on your location and date.

Why is the constellation Taurus the bull only visible in November not in May?
The constellation Taurus is actually visible in the night sky during both November and May. In November, Taurus is best seen in the evening, while in May it is more prominent in the early morning hours. The visibility of constellations changes over the course of the year due to Earth's orbit around the sun, causing different regions of the sky to be visible from our perspective.

What star is the brightest in northern hemisphere?
After the Sun, the brightest star is Sirius, in the constellation Canis Major. However, while Sirius is the brightest star visible from the Northern Hemisphere, it is part of a southern hemisphere constellation. Therefore, Arcturus, in Bootes, would be the brightest Northern Hemisphere star.
What Constellation that is visible during winter months?
Lots of constellations are visible during the winter months. About half of the constellations are above the horizon, and therefore usually visible, at any given moment. What constellations are visible would also depend on whether you live north or south of the equator (this affects the definition of "winter"), on the specific month, and the time of night.
How was ursa minor constellation discovered?
The Ursa Minor constellation has been known since ancient times and appears in the writings of Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD. It is commonly associated with the myth of Callisto and her son Arcas, who were turned into bears and placed in the sky by Zeus. The constellation's most prominent feature, the North Star (Polaris), has been used for navigation for centuries due to its stable position in the sky.
How does the appearances of a constellation seem to change at night?
The biggest notable change is that they appear to move across the sky. This is of course due to Earth's rotation, and not the constellation moving. Standing looking at a constellation, you will not notice it move. You would need something to relate it to, like something on the horizon. If you look very carefully, you will see movement. Over the course of a night, it will appear to move in an arc shape, rising and then setting. If you regularly viewed a constellation across a few days or weeks, you would also notice that the time they rise is different and the time they are visible at a certain point in the sky is different. You will not notice any change in the stars in relation to each other within a constellation. Even during a lifetime, never mind one night, a particular constellation will look the same to you, as the changes would be so slight. If the moon is visible near a constellation, you would notice some movement over the course of a night in relation to stars in the constellation, and certainly over the course of a few nights. If there is a planet near them, you will notice some movement, but not near as much as the moon. The nearer planets, like Venus and Mars are more noticeable in their changes compared to other planets.
