Capricornus Research Paper

In today's society, constellations are known as a group of stars that when viewed from our planet earth, form a pattern that we can see at night with the unaided eye. There are also groups of constellation families; such as the Ursa major family, the Perusues Family, the Hercules Family, the Orion Family, the Bayer Group, the Heavenly Waters, the La Caille Family and finally the most known constellation group; the Zodiacal Family. 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

In the beginning of his diary, he spoke of his regard for the Virgin, which is known as the Virgo. In his diary, Virgo was depicted as a beautiful woman and he equated her to Marian Maudsley. This partially accounts for his love of her. Leo said, “the signs of the zodiac, each somehow contriving to suggest a plenitude of life and power, each glorious, though differing from the others in glory. …And I remembered too…the magic with which they were then invested, and the tingling sense of coming fruition they conveyed— the lowly creatures no less than the exalted ones.” (Hartley. 19). This quote suggests that Leo saw the signs as equals, none greater than the other. However, soon after he can not decide whether he related to the archer or the water-carrier more, but he eventually puts down each of their respective professions he believed that they had. “The two men attracted and repelled me at the same time; perhaps I was jealous of them.” (Hartley. 21). He also refers to his imagination as being “passionately hierarchical” at that time. (Hartley. 19). He eventually refers to Marian’s lover, Ted Burgess as the water-carrier, or Aquarius. This is because Ted is a farmer and laborer. For example, when Leo falls off a haystack on Ted’s farm, Ted finds him while carrying “a pail of water in each hand.” (Hartley. 97). Later in life, Leo acknowledges that his saving of Leo was probably the

The Capraras were an Italian family, friends of the Marks’s. Mr. and Mrs. Caprara had each lost a brother in World War II and like so many others, they were particularly sensitive about the war. The American people did not really understand why their sons were forced to fight in a war which was not their own and which they were not winning conclusively, to “fight against Communism”, when it was obvious that in the end they would have to withdraw, which in fact occurred years later, during the government of President Nixon. Even though the war acted as a bond between generations—as I was told by Mr. Caprara, who had been the driver of a general in wartime, and when peace came had given the general a job in his thriving business—American society

In my head I think that Capricorn has not changed at all throughout the book so far. Even though he has gone to school he hasn’t changed. I can prove this because Capricorn is still calm, confused and his appearance hasn't changed. Back at Garland he was calm, he did Tai Chi and was also calm when Rain fell out of that peach tree. Another example is he was calm when the bus driver Mr.Rodrigo was having a heart attack, his only reaction was to start driving the bus, even though he’s underage to drive and without a license, and to take the driver to the hospital. Another way I can prove he was calm is that he reacted very well when he got locked out into the small courtyard, he didn’t scream or cry or even bang on the windows. He's confused because

My favorite constellation by far is the Gemini constellation. The Gemini constellation is my favorite because my star sign is Gemini. And it is fairly easy to spot in the night sky, although the best viewing month is in February.

There are two strong contenders as to which mythical lion is represented by the constellation LEO.

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.

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

Egypt, Henry Salt, was not very pleased with this. Despite chasing the zodiac as it was transporting down the Nile, Salt was unable to stop them, and the zodiac made its way to the Louvre for the price of 150,000 francs. The Louvre certainly had to have been aware of the circumstances surrounding the acquisition of the Dendera zodiac, but still chose to pay for a stolen artifact. They rewarded reckless behavior that endangered the knowledge they claimed only France could protect. The Ottoman rulers at the time, after the British demanded intervention, stated France had not really broken any laws, a point that causes problems today, as will be discussed later.

There are also four different categories that they are put into. Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are fire signs. Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are earth signs. Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are air signs. Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are water signs.

Despite the grueling work of the police, all the potential suspects have been unsuccessfully convicted. Around 20 letters and cards sent by the Zodiac are the only real trace the Zodiac left of himself. There is no physical evidence that was found at the scene of the crimes,“At least eight descriptions of the Zodiac are out there but those most common were that of a caucasian male, around thirty years old, stocky build, and short reddish brown hair, Zodiac was typically described in dark clothes, military style boots, and glasses. There are composites of the Zodiac but no prime suspects were identified based on the physical description of the killer” (Kelleher,

Cygnus is a Greek myth about two friends named Cygnus and Phaeton. They both decide to go chariot racing together. Cygnus and Phaeton race too close to the heavens, and shattered down to Earth. Cygnus ended up not getting hurt, but his friend’s dead body was trapped in the bottom of the Eridanus River. Again and again, Cygnus dove in the water to retrieve his beloved friend for a proper burial, but fell short each time. Zeus, the god of the gods was moved because Cygnus was so noble, and gave the exceptional friend a choice: immortality or a swan. Zeus said that if Cygnus wanted to be a swan, he would live as a swan for the rest of his life. Boldly, Cygnus chose to be a swan to obtain his friend. Zeus was moved by the heroic act, and decided

The constellation I have chosen is Cancer. I chose this constellation because it is my zodiac sign. Naturally, I found it interesting to learn about and write an essay on my discovery and creation theory. Cancer is Latin for "Crab", The name was chosen because the representation of the the constellation is in fact a crab. The constellation is 506 sq. degrees and made up of faint stars.

where Capricornus is in the sky, the area in the sky where it is placed is called “The Sea”. There are five commonly known stars in Capricornus which are, Deneb Algedi, Nashira, Prima, Secunda Giedi, and Dabih. The constellation is also a very commonly mentioned zodiac sign, which is called Capricorn. It is one of the twelve astrology signs with the symbol of a “Sea Goat” just like how Capricornus means “Sea Goat” in Latin. Both are very similar except one is used as a constellation and the other is a zodiac sign that tells facts about the type of person you are. Capricornus is more than just a constellation in the sky, but can represent who and how a person is.

In my humble opinion, all of the constellations are beautiful. But none of the constellations attract me more than the Gemini constellation. I wish I had an elaborate story as to why i'm so attracted to the Gemini constellation, but truth be told, Gemini is my favorite because i'm a Gemini! The Gemini constellation was first discovered by Ptolemy, a 2nd century AD astronomer. Gemini means 'Twins' in Latin. Without a telescope, it is made up of 85 visible stars. The bordering constellations are Lynx, Auriga, Taurus, Orion, Monoceros, Canis Minor, and Cancer.
