My chosen constellation is Gemini, a constellation of the Zodiac. I chose it because both me and my father, who had an important role in my interest for Astronomy, are Gemini. The constellation of Gemini, which means "twins" in Latin, was discovered by Ptolemy in the second century A.D. and it has 85 stars. The Alpha star is Pollux and the Beta star is Castor, which are the names of the two twin brothers that are associated with Gemini.
In his play “Constellations,” Nick Payne expresses that love is not always sunshine and rainbows. An unexpected love story about a woman named Marianne who is a quantum physicist, and a man named Roland who is a beekeeper. After they casually met at a barbecue, they could not resist beginning an intimate relationship. Communication is at the heart of this play, especially because in the various multiverses each scene repeated but slightly altered. This portion of the play highlights the way they communicate in a way that either benefits their relationship or creates problems. Being able to see the multiverse of several different possibilities made me feel connected to each individual character and often made me feel sympathy for them and
The Hour of the Star As Clarice Lispector was writing what would become her last literary creation, The Hour of the Star, little did she know that while her body was plagued with the devastations of cancer, her mental struggle for peace and grace in death would inspire her most renowned novel. Perhaps it is because of those circumstances, she created a novel with intuitive reflections on both life and death, as seen through the life of the main character, Macabea. The story is narrated by Rodrigo S.M., and although Rodrigo attempts to maintain a neutral stance, he is often conflicted by his own perceptions and feelings. At the book’s commencement Rodrigo spends quite some time explaining that while the story is mainly about a woman,
When conceptualising the notion of a ‘constellation’, many definitions arise as to what the term represents and the ways to which it possesses a metaphorical significance. Such queries emerge throughout the duration of the contemporary theatre piece suitably entitled ‘Constellations’, written by English playwright Nick Payne, who effectively initiates controversy by implicitly alluding towards the perplexing concepts of parallel universes, nonlinear and possible infinite expanses of time, as well as the importance of individual choices and their relationship with the concept of fate/destiny. This exploitation of the power of subliminal manipulation is prevalent in most modern theatre as dramatic meaning is more effectively conveyed and
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.
Why would anyone name constellations and planets after people or items in mythology? Reason 1: The gods and goddesses lived in the sky with the stars. The gods are a mystery just like stars. So that gives them two connections. So they associated mystery with mystery and sky with sky. Reason 2:
When I was little, I really didn’t know what astrology was or what your zodiac sign was. When I was growing up, I finally figured out what it all meant and how it worked. From that point on I was instantly clicked. I loved reading my horoscope and when ever I did read it, nine out of ten times it would be right, and that’s why I loved reading my horoscope. It was just something I did every morning, and then I would go throughout my day. Then at night when I would be back on the computer, i would reread them, and realize that most of the time those things did happen, or I did feel that type of emotion.
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 millions upon millions of stars that light up the night sky. Some of these stars are grouped together in a way that creates a shape or figure; these shapes have been studied for thousands of years by people all around the world. Some civilizations have even dedicated stories to these figures in the sky; most of these shapes or constellations have their origins in Greek and Roman mythology. The constellation I chose as my favorite is Taurus, the bull. While Taurus is one of the constellations featured in the zodiac, my reasons for choosing it as my favorite constellation are not in relation to the story of Zeus and Europa; I chose Taurus because the Pleiades or "Seven Sisters" (a star cluster) are located inside of the constellation.
The autumn constellations Andromeda and Perseus, along with Cetus, Pegasus, Cassiopeia and Cepheus, are richly intertwined in mythology, but are vastly diverse in the objects they present to astronomers. While Perseus lies along the Milky Way, and offers many dazzling open star clusters and diffuse nebulae, Andromeda lies away from our galaxy's plane, and introduces us to the inhabitants of intergalactic space. Some of the finest celestial objects reside in these constellations, and it is well worth braving cool autumn nights to observe them.
The Taurus constellation is one of the zodiac constellations. It is a very prominent constellation in the northern hemisphere during the winter. I chose this constellation because the Taurus is my zodiac sign. The constellation symbolizes the bull; a cow like animal with large horns on it's head. The Taurus

This summer is paramount in Leo’s personal development and the shaping of his views of the world.
