Argo Navis Research Paper

I chose the constellation Andromeda because the back story and myths it has really fascinates me! I feel that some of the myths behind the consolations can be rather boring, but with the romance and danger all wrapped into one, I continue going back to it. This constellation is the 19th largest in the sky and is located in the first quadrant of the northern hemisphere. It takes seven-hundred-twenty-two square feet in the sky!

Orion is my favorite constellation because it is one of the easiest to find and most recognizable. This makes it one of the most popular constellations. Orion's belt includes the three brightest stars in the sky. In the Northern Hemisphere, Orion is a fall and winter constellation, visible from November to February. One of Orion's "stars" is actually a nebula, the Orion nebula.

Stars Castor, Pollux, Alhena, Wasat, Clown Nebula, Tejat Posterior, M35, NGC 2372 all make up this constellation. Although not all of these star names are featured in the Gemini Greek myth, Castor and Pollux are. The myth goes like this: Gemini, the constellation of course, represents two twins. Castor and Pollux, although they do not have the same father. Pollux's father is Zeus, also known as Jupiter in Roman mythology, who made their mother pregnant as a swan. And Caster's father, King Tyndarus of Sparta who is Lena's husband. Therefore, Pollux is immortal and Caster is not. Lena also had another child with Kind Tyndarus, Helen, also known as Helen of Troy. Continuing on with the story, Pollux, being immortal, was famous for his incredible strength and Castor was famed for his skill will horses. Other accomplishments include, both of them traveling as argonauts to find the Golden Fleece. As well as fighting in the Trojan war to help bring their sister, Helen home to her

My Favorite Constellation is Hercules. Hercules is the fifth largest constellation in the sky, occupying an area of 1225 square feet in the sky. I've chosen this constellation because I quite enjoy the Greek myth behind it.

I have chosen the Perseus Constellation. I chose that contallation because I have always liked the Greek Gods mythology. Perseus, named after the Greek Mythology hero, is a constellation in the Northen Sky. Perseus is bordered by Aries and Taurus to the south, Auriga to the east, Camelopardalis and Cassiopeia to the north, and Andromeda and Triangulum the west.

1. I've chosen the constellation "Draco." I chose this one because it was the constellation that my mother always talked about when I was little. She'd tell me stories about it's stars and she'd always let me stay up late to look at it. Draco is the 8th largest constellation and has 9 stars, the brightest of which is Gamma Draconis. It belongs to the Ursa Major family.

The myth of the constellation Capricornus is of Greek origin. This is the mythological story of how the constellation Capricornus was created. The Olympian Gods had battled the Titans and were looking for refuge in Egypt

My favourite constellation is the Aquarius one. I particularly like this constellation because I love the mythology behind it. It is said the the Greeks connected the Aquarius constellation with Ganymede who was known as the cup bearer to the gods. According to the myth, apparently Ganymede was a handsome young boy who Zeus had an interest for. Ganymede was brought to Mount Olympus by Zeus, where he served as cup bearer to the gods and there he was granted eternal youth after he poured out Zeus wine and water which caused a great flood because he didn't want to serve drinks anymore.

Orion, also called The Hunter is my favorite constellation because it is perhaps the most prominent and well-known constellation, anywhere in the world, because its stars are so bright that it is possible to observe with the naked eye. Orion is located near the constellation Eridanus River and supported by his two hunting dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor fighting constellation Taurus.

I have chosen Cassiopeia as my favorite constellation. The reason why i chose this constellation is firstly because I find it very easy to find in the sky due to its M or W shape ( depending on the season ), and secondly, because it is one of the first constellation on which I made a research on it's creation myth. Cassiopeia is still to this day one of the 88 recognized constellations by the International Atrsonomical Union.

There are quite a few myths surrounding the constellation Orion, my favorite however states that Orion was a mortal man who was gifted to the gods of Olympus. Because of this he was a great hunter and spent his days taking down animals and monsters in sport, this drew the goddess Artemis’s eye and the two of them became close friends. Throughout this bond Artemis began to forget her vows of eternal maidenhood and thought to marry Orion. Her brother Apollo wasn’t pleased and to combat this he pointed out Orion as he swam. Apollo then taunted Artemis, daring she couldn’t hit the unidentified item, and Artemis took the dare, killing Orion and out of respect for her hunting partner she placed him in the sky to hunt with his dogs forever.

My favorite Constellation is Canis Major, the Great Dog. It is located in the southern sky and it contains Sirius, the Dog Star. I chose this constellation because of the fact that it contains the Dog Star. I also like this constellation because it looks like it is following or chasing Orion. Canis Major was catalogued by the Greek Astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd Century. This Constellations is the 43rd largest constellation, taking up an area of 380 square degrees.

Scorpius contains the brightest stars in the sky. The myth is that to the ancient Greeks, the constellation Scorpius was the image of a scorpion. The constellation was related to the death of the hunter Orion. There are several different stories about Orion's death. According to one story, Orion wanted to kill all the earth's wild animals.However, the earth goddess Gaia

There are many myths about the creation of the Gemini constellation-Hebrew, Chinese, Roman and more but in this essay I would like to tell the Greek myth. One night, Zeus, King of the gods came to visit Leda-Queen of Sparta in the form of a

My favourite constellation is Pictor, also known as "The Painter" or "The Painter's Easel." I chose this constellation because art is something that interests me and since Pictor has something to do with art, as it could be symbolic inspiration to painters all over the magical and muggle world. It helps me by inspiring me that one day i could be a painter as long as i put in the effort, like the stars in the constellation put in the effort to burn brightly every day. Pictor is a minor, faint constellation located in the Southern Celestial Hemisphere. Pictor is located between Canopus and the Large Magellanic Cloud. It's name is a shortened version - or abbreviation if you want to be posh - for the old name Equuleus Pictoris. Pictor is latin
