Constellation

For my constellation I have chosen Pegasus. I have chosen this constellation because flying creatures have always interested me and I think it is one of the more beautiful constellations in the sky. The near perfect rectangle in the center of the constellation is also very interesting and makes the constellation even more beautiful. I also prefer constellations with several stars and Pegasus is made up of 18 different stars! The myth of this constellation I have chosen from Greek mythology.…

I have chosen the constellation Lyra. I have chosen this constellation because I have an interest in greek history where it came from. Lyra is a constellation in the Hercules family that resembles a harp. It has 5 main stars but 25 in total. It's brightest star is Vega and it is bordered by the constellations Draco, Hercules, Vulpecula and Cygnus. The constellation Lyra represent Orpheus' lyre. It was supposedly made by Hermes with a tortoise shell and it was, according to legend, the first…

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. If…

My favorite constellation is Pegasus. In the second century, it was listed as a constellation along with forty-seven others by the astronomy Ptolemy. I choose Pegasus because of the mythological legends behind such a magnificent organization of stars. Also, Pegasus particularly interests me because of the near perfect arrangement of four stars in a square: Markab, Scheat, Algenib, and Alpheratz/Sirrah (to use their Arabic names) are the four corners of the square asterism. In Greek mythology,…

I looked up at the night sky and thought of the stories he used to tell about the stars, the constellations, and it seemed sad that I couldn’t remember a single one of them. There’s a string of stars called Orion’s Belt, and I think Orion is known as a hunter, but I’m not sure of what. It’s funny to think that, because in a way I’m a hunter, too, only I hunt pokemon. I don’t hunt them in a harmful way, I hunt them to capture them in a device called a pokeball. A pokeball is a like a little…

Castor was a renound horseman and Pollux was famous by his strength , but in one adventure castor died so…

of rotation of the Earth. How the earth rotates and what angle it is at changes many things. The sky we see today is different than the sky the people thousands of years ago saw. The southern and northern hemispheres both have varying different constellations. The empires of Southern America charted the sun, moon and stars, so did the Greeks, Romans and Chinese…

As we gaze up to the sky at night, we see the stars shining brightly above us. Constellations may come and go, but the light that shines along with our beloved moon, they will never fail to twinkle. The constellations known to man today may mostly be the Big Dipper, Ursa Major and Minor, Canis Majoris and the Little Dipper. Yet, there are constellations with a beautiful and sometimes, a tragic story to tell. Everyone knows what happens to him or her but, what about the other Greek or Roman…

sentiments of those relatives, so the seeker can face them. This gives the seeker a sheltered situation in which to better see profoundly covered family related issues, without really confronting the relatives in individual. The wonder that is Family Constellations is…

the most well known constellation is "Cancer" also known more commonly as "the crab". I have chosen this stunning pattern of stars because I myself am i cancer as my horoscope and find it quite beautiful even though it is one of the dimmest constellations which can't be seen with the naked eye. But if you were to look for this lovely constellation you would be searching for an upside down Y right next to the constellations of Leo and Gemini. If you want to see this constellation the best and…
