The Aquarius constellation appears in the sky between December and January. Aquarius is the sign for water bearers as the name Aquarius is Latin for "water carrier".

The sky has been a major attraction for astronomers, scientist, and many civilizations of the past hundreds of years. What are Constellations? Why are they so important? The science of finding out what all these amazing stars in the sky first begin when ancient civilizations begin seeing patterns, which they shaped out a variety of images while stargazing has had different meanings for different cultures, this can be seen with the Big Dipper. The topics discussed will include a summary of the history of how the constellations came to be, also a brief overview of how the IAU came about, and recent findings made by the IAU in the past 10 years.

My favourite constallation is the capricornus. It actually is my zodiac sign. Little magical glowing in the dark stars are fixed to my ceiling, representing the capricornus. It is up there since a few years now. Even when I moved out for three years, it was not removed from the ceiling.

Throughout the course of our existence, humans have looked to the skies for a multitude of reasons. A couple of them would be something along the lines of religious beliefs or the physical use of the stars as a guide or a compass to bring families home or help discover new territories. The use of constellations have been recorded in Mesopotamian culture that has been dated back to around 4000 B.C. According to a “Constellation History” article by Jim Fuchs “In the 8th century B.C. (800-701). Homer mentioned a few now familiar constellations in his epic poem, the Odyssey. Four hundred years later Eudoxus of Cnidus wrote about 43 constellations.” (Fuch) Ptolemy, another Greek astronomer had created a book called the Almagest which contained a lot of our present day constellations. This book was written in 150 A.D. and contained 48 constellations of those 48, 21 were from the northern constellations and 12 were Zodiacal constellations and 15 from the southern constellations. These constellations consisted of many that are very well known to date such as Bootes, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Aries, Cancer, and Taurus. In the following paragraphs we will go over the history of these constellations. After Ptolemy, roughly 1100 years later in Moorish controlled Spain a group of scholars created the famous Arabic astronomy writing of the Alfonsine

The constellation I've chosen is Ursa Major. I wanted to write about this constellation because, first, it is the first one that came in my mind and secondly, it is the only constellation I can identify in the sky. Ursa major is visible in the northern hemisphere. It is made up of seven bright stars (Dubhe, Merak, Phad, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, Alkaid) which make, what is called, the asterism « The Big Dipper », and other stars. It was part of the 48 constellations identified by Ptolemy in the 2nd century.

Have you ever wondered why you see certain shapes or patterns in the sky formed by stars? Well, these formations are called constellations. There are tons of different constellations that represent different logics of many poets, farmers, and astronomers. Along the years, there have been many different relations that the constellations have to famous myths and stories that are a part of world life.

The objects that is has been mention above are very important to Gemini’s constellation. Pollux and Castor are the brightest stars known to Gemini. With two brothers, so very close together, they are easy to evaluate. Pollux is said to be brighter and golden in color, while Castor is fainter and white. According to NASA, Zeus reunited the immortal Pollux with his brother by placing both amongst the stars. Pollux from the Earth’s view is 1.14 apparent magnitude, while Castor is 1.98 apparent magnitude. The lower the number, the brighter the star in the night sky. Gemini is bursting with amazing stories and interesting details about the mythology that we have come to love so much. I hope to learn more about it one day.
