As the Earth revolves around the Sun throughout its year, its night side faces a
different portion of the celestial "sphere."
During Autumn, the constellation of Pegasus, the asterism known as "The
Great Square" and the Pleiades star cluster—also known as the Seven
Sisters—are predominant in the evening sky.
(Shown about 8:00 PM during mid-October for mid-Northern latitudes.)
