Constellations

Constellation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In modern astronomy, a constellation is an internationally defined area of the celestial sphere. These areas are grouped around asterisms (which themselves are generally referred to in non-technical language as "constellations"), which are patterns formed by prominent stars within apparent proximity to one another on Earth's night sky. There are 88 standard constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) since 1922. The

The Constellation I chose is Lupus, also called „the Wolf“. It’s located in the southern sky and was one of the 48 constellations, which were listed by Ptolemy, a second century astronomer. Previously it was an asterism associated with its neighbour constellation Centaurus, but belongs to the now 88 official constellations. It has nine main stars, 41 Bayer stars and five stars with planets. Lupus is surrounded by six different constellations: Hydra, Scorpius, Norma, Circinus, Libra and Centaurus

I have chosen the phoenix constellation because I am very fascinated about the phoenix it self. Albus Dumbledore is supposed to have had one or still has one if he is still alive. The phoenix tears can heal as far as I know heavy vullnaries. It is in general a very trustful beeing. There must be a connection from the beeing to the constellation. The Phoenix constelation moves around the part of the southern sky depending on the position of viewing. I could not find any information who exactly discovered

I choose the constellation Phoenix, I've chosen this constellation because I find the shape intreging. Phoenix constellation lies in the southern sky. It was originally introduced by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius from the observations of the Dutch navigators Frederick Houtman and Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser in the late 16th century.Phoenix is a relatively small consolation, but it is the largest among the 12 constellations created and named by Plancius. It was first depicted on his globe in 1598

A constellation is a constellation is a group of stars that make an imaginary shape in the night sky, usually named after mythological characters, people, animals and objects (Ask An Astronomer). The word “constellation” comes from a latin term meaning “set with stars”. Constellations lead to a vast array of legends based off of imagination that vary in different countries and cultures, but the one thing that they have in common is that they are made of the same array of bright stars that connect

describe their favourite constellation and to tell the myth belonging to the star formation before telling a new myth behind the constellation. A constellation is a group of stars that create a pattern/picture in the night sky. To date there are 88 constellations in the solar system, all with myths or legends behind them to describe their background. These 88 constellations are split into 8 families, with the authors favourite being in the Hercules family. The Cygnus constellation derives its name from

patterns that create images called constellations. Constellations are a group of stars that are connected together to represent mythological images of animals and objects from the past that is located in the celestial sphere 1, 3. They were mainly discovered by the early people, primarily used as references to coordinate directions, measure time, predict farming seasons, and for religious studies3. According to the International Astronomical Union, there are 88 constellations in the sky, but

the seasons so do constellations, and interestingly enough, there are some constellations that are unique to the northern and southern hemisphere, known as circumpolar constellations. “The Constellations (South Pole; North Pole),” engraved by W.G Evans, under the direction of Elijah H. Burritt, shows a relatively early form of illustrations of the starry heavens, reflected in the constellations viewed from the northern and southern polar regions during each month. The constellations are presented in

For many years constellations have played an important role in different societies and culture, from one generation to the other. But what is a constellations? from where does the name of constellations come from? why are constellations useful? Or how can we find our nearby star this are some leading im going to try to answer in this essay. A constellation is the group of a bright star that forms shapes and patterns in the sky but are far apart in space. According to (Bennett, 2012) the

My favourite constellation is Orion the Hunter. Back when I was first becoming interested in astronomy, I found it hard to navigate the night sky. A lot of the astronomers I knew used constellations to do so, as they could be used to point towards other stars, or in some cases (as with Orion) contained an object of interest -- the Orion Nebula. One winter night, looking at reference material, as the sky was clear for a change, I decided to compare my reference source with the night sky. It was in
