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…

The constellation I've picked is Virgo. I have chosen this constellation because it is the second largest. It takes four hours to clear the eastern horizon because it is so big. Virgo was associated with harvest as a harvest goddess or daughter of a goddess. It was associated with harvest because the Sun passed along the constellation during late summer or early autumn. This was when the farmers were gathering the crops they had planted. The brightest star in Virgo, Spica, is said to…

The constellation Capricornus appeals to me more then the other constellations as it is the depiction of the Capricorn birth sign, which is the sign I fall under. This constellation represents Oannes the sea-goat God of Wisdom in Assyro-Babylonian depictions. The Capricornus is located in the Southern Sky and its name translates to "the goat" in Latin. Delta Capricorni is the brightest star in this constellation and it is the second most faintest constellation in the sky making it very difficult…

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,…

The web page about your Zodiac sign and job satisfaction makes a casual claim by implying your sign is linked to your job success. It achieves this in the third sentence by using the verb reveals, “See what your astrological sign reveals about your career skills and the best jobs for you” (“Is Your Job a Good Fit?”, 2009). To examine this claim we would have to look at empirical research. In the online article, Astrology: Is it scientific, it is shown that Astrology and Zodiac signs are just a…

A, the narrator and main character of the book Every Day by David Leviathan, is the character in which I feel my prediction most accurate. As a result of A’s actions and traits shown in the book, I have come to the confident conclusion that the zodiac sign A was born into was a Libra. Libras are known for their ability to relate to others as if they had been put in their shoes, and who knows what that’s like better than A! In the book, A transfers from body to body every day at midnight with no…

Taurus is in the North East of Orion and the South West of Auriga. It is said this because the shape is like an incomplete bull. In the Greek mythology tells the love stories of Zeus where appears two…
