Auriga is a prominent constellation located in the northern sky. Its name means "the charioteer" in Latin, and it is often depicted as a figure driving a chariot. Auriga is best known for its bright star, Capella, which is one of the brightest stars visible from Earth. The constellation is most visible during the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere. In addition to Capella, Auriga contains several other notable stars and deep-sky objects. It is home to the Messier 36, Messier 37, and Messier 38 star clusters, which are popular targets for amateur astronomers. The constellation is easily recognizable due to its distinctive pentagon shape formed by its main stars.
