The zodiacal family consists of the zodiac constellations signs. These signs usually describe your personality and who you are as a family. The constellation, Leo, is my zodiac sign, and in my particular interest for it depicts who I am. The Leo constellation is the twelfth largest constellation in the night sky and

The constellation I chose was Camelopardalis. This constellation represents my favorite animal, the Giraffe. Unsurprizingly, this constelation does resemble the Giraffe in appearance. The name this constellation bears comes from the Greek, and has three meanings: leopard, Giraffe, and camel. Camelopardalis can be seen best in the month of Febuary. However, it is not terriable visable. Overall, Camelopardalis is only a 4th magnatude consellation. There are eight other constellation in the vansinity of Camelopardalis.

Gemini is the constellation I have chosen to use in my essay. The reason for that is my zodiac sign is Gemini, and it's the constellation I am most familiar with. Gemini is composed of several stars, the most popular being Pollux and Casper, the two 'heads' of the constellation. The greek myth where Gemini is orinated from is of two twin brothers -the stars- Pollux and Casper. The constellation is seen between the constellations, Taurus and Cancer.

The myth of the Gemini constellation consists in the story of two twin brothers: Castor and Pollux. Leda, their mother, was married to Tyndarus, the King of Sparta, but one time Zeus, the god of the thunder, seduced her. Later, she found out she was pregnant, but Castor's father was her husband Tyndarus and Pollux's father was Zeus. The two brothers were inseparable and fought many wars together, side by side. They fought on the Trojan War and became Argonauts. Until the day Castor died and became desperate because he

I chose the constellation, Orion. It is one of my favorites, because ever since I was little, I was able to find it, and it was cool to me. The constellation depicts a man, holding his shield in front of hi, and sword overhead. It signifies a hunter, attack his prey, especially since he follows other celestial animals, like Lepus, a rabbit, and Taurus, a bull.

I believe that the Centaur came to exist in the sky because in ancient times there was a very powerful wizard. This wizard did many things and creating constellations to preserve the memories of people that helped him and paid him

The constellation I've chosen is Orion "The Hunter", because it is one of the most well known constellations in the night sky. It is one of the few I know and can point out in the night sky, although usually I can only see the belt. Orion also has my favorite star in it; the Betelguese red giant. When I was younger, I read a lot of astronomy books, and I remember reading about red giants and how big they were. That really interested me, because it was just so mind blowing at the time how unfathomably large space is.

Aquarius is the constellation I have chosen as it is the constellation from my zodiac from my year of birth. It outlines my behaviours, characteristics and fortunes. 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". Aquarius is one of the oldest constellations and can be seen in the northern and Southern Hemisphere.

Officially the constellation Lupus doesn’t have a myth belonging to it, but it can be based on the story of the ancient king of Arcadia, king Lycaon. It’s said that he ruled Arcadia with his fifty sons and he still practiced human sacrifice while other parts of Greece declined it as barbaric. There are two different versions about it:

My favourite costellation is the Aquarius constellation, which is in the Southern Hemisphere during the spring, while in the Northern Hemisphere during the fall. This is my favourite constellation because to me, it is the most beautiful and is one of the most important backgrounds. In my personal opinion, it also has the most meaning to it. The term Aquarius means "Water Bearer" or "Cup Bearer" in Latin.

Andromeda's mother, Cassiopeia, having boasted of being as beautiful as the Nereids, trigger the anger of Poseidon, who decided to flood the earth and sent to the sea monster Ceto.

The constellation Leo is also best visible during April. Leo is one of the 13 sings of the the zodiac, and is the fifth sign, representing those born around July 22 until around August 22.

That constellation occupies a five hundred six square degrees.

The constellation I have chosen is Centaurus! Centaurus is of course a bright constellation that belongs in the southern sky and is considered to be one of the largest constellations.
