Research Paper On Orion

Improved Essays
Of the 88 official constellations, Orion, the Hunter, would be my absolute favorite for countless reasons. One of these being Orion is associated with specific personality traits that I find very important and some of which I possess myself. The personality linked with this constellation is a very strong and opinionated personality, with a desire to ask questions and understand things. Being a RavenClaw, I love to learn and understand new things and I seem to question everything. I have my own strong beliefs that I have formed myself and these are all things related to this constellation. Another reason this is my favorite constellation is because of the nebula that is in it, the Horse Head Nebula. This is one of my favorite nebulas, making me like this constellation so much more.

The story goes like this…… Once upon a time there was a girl, who lived in the Flooberdigue Forest. She had lived there all her life in a small cozy treehouse handed down from her ancestors. The house though full of memories was empty apart from one person. She was a tall and slightly muscular girl with short hair. Everyone she came across believed her to be a guy, which did not matter to her. All that mattered was achieving her dream. When she was younger, before her parents perished on a journey they took, they told her a magnificent story called The Treasure of Gemini. A story of twins who lived far away, and in their possession they had a necklace that contained all knowledge in the universe.

    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.…

    The Big Dipper is the first constellation I learned to identify as a child. Though I made up stories and constellations as I stared into the velvety darkness, the Big Dipper was the only "real" one I knew. This constellation is one of the easiest to find, as well as being one of the few that can be spotted year-round in North America. It is also part of another constellation, Ursa Major. Another advantage to being able to point out is that it also becomes easy to find Polaris, the North Star.…

    Sea stars, along the Pacific coasts of California (Lopatto, 2014), are inevitably vulnerable to what scientists refer to as the “sea star wasting sickness.” Major ailments like this can hinder an ecosystem’s biological composure, considering the fact that sea stars are keystone species. Should the sea star succumb to such a major disturbance in their population, other species will be negatively impacted as well. Scientists are becoming very analytical as to what exactly is causing the endangerment. Several potential causes for this disease can involve the sea stars’ exposure to different environmental conditions (Venton, 2013) and infectious or virulent agents.…
