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!

The handsome giant Orion was a companion of the goddess but her jealous brother Apollon tricked her into killing him with a distant bow-shot. In her grief Artemis placed him amongst the stars as the constellation Orion.<>

This is my myth of Orion. From the day that he had been born, Orion was a sickly, crippled child, with little chance of survival. One day, when the boy was six years of age, his father took Orion to the temple to meet the Oracle. The father prayed

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.

Orion was one of the males trying to court Artemis. He was a hunter, so that was in his favor. She accepted him, but only as a friend. She warned him that if he tried to marry her, than she would fight him until he was out of sight. He agreed, but couldn't help liking her. After all, who wouldn't like her? Artemis was a feisty, strong hunter, and so was he. They were perfect for each other. Or so he thought. A few months later, he asked for her hand in marriage, and she refused. Furious and heartbroken, Orion challenged her to a fight. If he won, she would marry him. If she won, he would be out of her sights and gone for good. The fight lasted for days. Each of them fought brilliantly, suffering minimal injuries. Then, on the third day, Artemis took out Orion's eye. After that, Orion fought poorly, misaiming and throwing himself off balance. Finally, on the seventh day, he surrendered. He stumbled away from Artemis's camp, and came upon Hephaestus. Hephaestus ended the hunter's pain, healing his wounds and giving him a laser eye to replace his long gone other. In conclusion, I think no other constellation could compare with Orion and his wonderful, yet gruesome, creation

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.

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.

of Hera, the wife of Zeus. She had a scorpion kill him, so Zeus put Orion in the sky as a

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.

In Greek mythology, Orion was a giant. There are several versions of the myth of Orion. One of them tells that Orion had raped Merope, daughter of Oenopion, who therefore left him blind. Helios restored his sight and then became Orion's hunting companion of Artemis and Leto. He vowed to destroy every thing that had on earth, so Gea got angry and gave birth to

My favorite constellation is the Capricornus constellation. I don't know much about constellations, so this is my favorite mainly because in astrology (and I'm aware it's different from astronomy) my sign is Capricorn. Capricornus is supposed to create the image of a goat with the tail of a fish. This is because Capricorn has this form, and so the constellation is based off of the astrological zodiac.

My favorite constellation is Scorpius. I have chosen Scorpius because that is my Zodiac sign, and I have come to learn about it a lot in the past few years. Scorpius is Latin for "scorpion," and Scorpius is in between the constellation Libra to the west and Sagittarius to the east.

The Constellation I will be talking about today is Orion, Commonly known as The Hunter. Orion's is a hunter from Greek Mythology and is one of the most recognizable constellations. Orion has some of the brightest stars(some examples are Betelgeuse and Rigel) and is one of the prettiest winter constellations in my opinion.

According to mythology, Orion proclaimed himself the greatest hunter in the world, to the dismay of Hera, wife of Zeus. Hera had a scorpion kill Orion and Zeus put him into the sky as a constellation.
