Research Paper On Draco

Decent Essays
I picked the constellation Draco because it represents a dragon and dragons are strong. Every constellation is named by a civilization in ancient times. Draco is Latin for dragon. Draco is the eighth largest constellation. Draco comes from the word draconem which means huge serpent because it snakes around the North Star. Draco represents Ladon which is the dragon that guarded the garden of Greek mythology. The stars of Draco aren’t very bright. Beta, Gamma, Nu, and Xi are the stars that make up the dragon’s head. The Draco constellation is located around the North Star. Earth is 48 light years away from the constellation Draco. The brightest star of draco is the star gamma.

The best time to see draco is in June at 9:00 pm local time.

    My favorite constellation is Scorpius ("The Scorpion") due to the fact that I am a Scorpio (my birthday is November 15th). Scorpius is the southernmost constellation out of all the Zodiac constellations and is near the center of the Milky Way. Also, the red star, Antares, is located where the Scorpion's heart is supposed to be. The star is red because it should be going out soon. The Scorpion's heart may either turn into a black hole (which many describe our hearts to be like) or a new star.…

    For the past one hundred and eighty-five years, the Malvinas Islands have been in the possession of the United Kingdom.

War was declared and Argentinian forces swiftly took control of the island. However, the military forces of the United Kingdom retaliated and in two short months retook the island, resulting in over 600 Argentinian casualties.…
