This document discusses constellations and careers in astrophysics. It provides descriptions of four constellations - the Southern Cross, Big Dipper, Scorpion, and Orion - including what they look like and when they can be seen. It also defines astrophysics as the branch of astronomy dealing with the physics of celestial objects like stars and galaxies. Finally, it lists some career paths in astrophysics such as research scientists, aerospace technicians, research assistants, IT specialists, and astronauts.
