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.
Cassiopeia has a Greek mythology, her name comes from Cassiopeia wife of Cepheus and queen of Aethiopia. The myth explains how Cassiopeia would have said that Andromeda, her daughter, was much more beautiful than any Nereid, who are sea water spirits and said to be extremely beautiful. The spirites, insulted, told this to Poseidon who, to punish Cassiopeia for her insolence, sends a sea monster named Cetus to Aethiopia. To get rid of that monster, Cassiopea went to see an oracle. The only solution the oracle came with to calm Cetus and make him go away was for Cassiopeia to sacrifice her daughter Andromeda. She was then tied to a rock, but eventually saved by Perseus, who then became his husband. Poseidon wasn't happy that Cassiopeia managed to get away with her insolence

She came from a very important family, married well, and for that reason she never had to do anything for her self which she enjoyed very much. She had an older son that she liked a lot, but they never saw eye to eye when it came to hierarchy. He had learned with his travels to respect everyone. He knew that he was blessed to be born in a royal family, but knew that power wasn't something given, you sometimes have to work for it. The queen never respected her people, treating them like slave almost. She really got angry when she learned that he was in love with one of the servants who would often have to brush her hair. Cassiopeia decided to ban her from the kingdom to make sure that her grandchildren wouldn't come from a low
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.
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.
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 constellation that I have chosen is Capricornus. Capricornus is one of the twelve zodiac constellations, and it symbolizes the sea-goat. The best time to see this constellation would be at ten o'clock at night in September and October, especially if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. I chose this constellation because according to Astrology I am a Capricorn and thought it would be interesting to know more about the constellation relating to my zodiac sign. Capricornus has five stars with planets in it's constellation.
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.
Cassiopeia is the constellation I have chosen. It is a very interesting constellation, comprised of various stars named with a Greek letter followed by Cassiopeiae (e.g. Alpha Cassiopeiae). The stars also have various traditional names of other origin, for instance Alpha is traditionally called Shedir from Arabic. I chose the constellation partly because I like the name, but it also has interesting origins and I am glad I looked up more details about it.
The legendary Queen Cassiopeia one day announced she was more beautiful than all the Nereids. Nereids are stunningly beautiful sea spirits, who thought this was terribly wrong. They then told Poseidon, god of sea and storms. Poseidon sent a sea monster after her husband King Cepheus. He then discovered that he would would need to give the serpent his daughter, Andromeda, so he could save his kingdom from the monster. He put his daughter where the serpent would find her. Then along came the wonderful hero Perseus who saved her.

In Greek mythology, Cassiopeia was the queen of Ethiopia. When she boasted that her daughter Andromeda was more beautiful than the sea nymphs, Poseidon sent a sea monster (identified with the constellation Cetus) to ravage the coast. Out of desperation to save her country, Cassiopeia allowed her daughter Andromeda to be chained to a rock as a sacrifice to the
My favorite constellation is Orion, because of its rich history within Greek mythology and its ability to assist locators in finding others stars and constellations. Orion is most visible during the months between January and March. The stars that form Orion's belt are Alnilam, Mintaka and Alnitak.
I choose the constellation "Gemini the twins". I choose this constellation because I think it's pretty interesting to learn about why did they put that name to those star's and the past. It's pretty cool for me to learn this too because my sign is Geminis and I want to now the significant of the constellation.
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.
