Legenda do diagrama: The constellation Ara along with its bright stars and surrounding constellations. Ara is surrounded by (going clockwise from the top): Scorpius, Norma, Triangulum Australe, Apus, Pavo, Telescopium and Corona Australis.

Ara is a southern constellation that is visible from the entire southern hemisphere at some point in the year and is visible from equatorial with parts of the constellation visible from some temperate parts of the northern hemisphere. It is best viewed in the evening in the northern hemisphere summer and southern hemisphere winter.

The globular clusters NGC 6352 and NGC 6397 lie in Ara. These are marked here with yellow circles with plus symbols superimposed on them. The open cluster NGC 6193 also lies in Ara, this is marked here with a yellow circle that is partially obscured by the dot marking the brightest member of the cluster which is visible to the naked eye under good conditions.

The y-axis of this diagram is in degrees of declination with north as up and the x-axis is in hours of right ascension with east to the left. The sizes of the stars marked here relate to the star's apparent magnitude, a measure of its apparent brightness. The larger dots represent brighter stars. The Greek letters mark the brightest stars in the constellation. These are ranked by brightness with the brightest star being labeled alpha, the second brightest beta, etc., although this ordering is not always followed exactly. The dotted boundary lines mark the IAU's boundaries of the constellations and the solid green lines mark one of the common forms used to represent the figures of the constellations. Neither the constellation boundaries, nor the lines joining the stars appear on the sky.
