Perseid Meteor Showers

Hercules is a large and prominent constellation. It is visible from the Northern Hemisphere from April to November. Despite its large size, Hercules does not have any bright stars. As a result only one or two of the stars of Hercules are visible from cities. I chose Hercules because I have heard his story before, but I did not know it well and wanted to know it better.

Hercules is one of the largest constellations but doesn’t have many brightly lit stars which makes is hard to see in cities. This constellation is better viewed with the naked eye because of how dull its stars are. Hercules is located in the southern hemisphere. Hercules contains a cluster of over 500,000 stars called the M-13 cluster. In mythology Hercules was believed to kill the Dragon, the guardian of the garden of Hesperides.

First, the zodiacal constellations provide the backdrop for the pathway of the sun around our sky each year, and of the moon for every month. Since the sun’s path lies within these constellations, you know you can look for them along the approximate path that the sun follows during the day from east to west across the sky. The constellations of the Zodiac should be visible during the month of October.

This is an example of what the Mexicans faced when crossing the border to flee the violence as some have made it and the rest struggled to get to Texas. Texans imprinted other ridicule portrayals of Mexicans. In The Madisonville Meteor newspaper, one of the newspaper articles written by John W. Woodfuff, Debunking Popular Ideas of Mexico, also states how the Anglos stereotypically portrayed the Mexicans. According to Woodfuff, Texans believed that: “All Mexicans are naturally dirty and filthy and care very little for soap and water. All houses in Mexico are made of mud bricks, the ‘dobe’ huts we hear so much about. The whole country is one big desert with nothing but cactus and jack rabbits growing in it.

Scientist have discovered that a meteor, has been lost for 25 years after losing orbit has finally been found headed toward Clare High School. Most of the people in Clare, Michigan were all freaking out, while the student of Clare High were calm and collective. “We say it will hit in approximately 5 days,” one scientist said, “So we shall head to the Smithsonian Institute of Science and Technology in Washington D.C.”

In the next part of the assignment the author will create a new myth to describe the constellations place in the

My favorite constellation is Capricorn. I love the creature behind it, the zodiac lore tied in, and for some reason I find the shape very appealing. It is located just above Cancer in the night sky. Two of the stars making up the constellation have known planets, and every star is faint enough to make Capricorn one of the faintest constellations in the sky. It can be seen best at 9 P.M. during the month of September.

interesting story telling why It's a constellation. The constellation is simple to locate in the night

When a meteor entered Earth's atmosphere, air in the atmosphere caused friction which made the meteor glow. The glowing meteors are called a meteoroid. A meteorite would be a meteor that fell to Earth. Antarctica would be the best place to find meteorites. All of the rocks in Antarctica are frozen in the ice layer. The rocks on top of the ice layer are meteorites. The meteorites are not broken up by weather.

I've chosen the Canis Major constellation, I've chosen this one because I fancy dogs and I love the name Sirius and the star by itself; Canis Major contains Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, known as the "dog star", its bright because of its proximity to our Solar System. The constellation is best visible at 21:00 (9 p.m.) during the month of February and visible at latitudes between +60° and −90°.

Another constellation is Orion, which is also known as “The Hunter” in Latin. It is one of the easiest constellations to find in the sky because many people spot Orion's belt in the sky. To find the belt, you have to look for three bright stars in a line and to the left of the belt you can find Orion’s hunting dogs, Canis Minor and Canis Major. Also, you can look for the left side of the hunter’s shoulder, Bellatrix and the right side of his shoulder which is Betelgeuse; these will help you locate where Orion is, since these stars are part of Orion. Another tip for finding Orion is looking for its seven brightest stars, which is sort of in a form of an hourglass and is located on the celestial equator. Orion is the most visible in the western sky and during the wintertime, so if you want to find orion look near the equator and for the three bright

I observe tried Scorpius with my own eyes but I could not find it so I used my telescope to find it and observe it. The best time to see the Scorpius is in the evening around 8:45pm. According to what my telescope information it said that is due to the fact that we are looking in the direction close to the center of our galaxy. I observe many stars in this area, and it is unfortunate for us in northern hemisphere that the observing season for this constellation is cut short both by the brief summer evenings.

Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights, as they are most popularly known, are bright dancing lights that are usually either a pale green or a pink, but they have been reported being seen in more vibrant colors as well. They are usually seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are caused by collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the Earth’s atmosphere. The lights can be seen in many forms: patches, scattered clouds of light, streamers, arcs, rippling curtains, or shooting rays that light up the sky with an eerie glow. Aurora Borealis can be seen anywhere from late September to March from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., but the lights are very

Since the first Egyptian farmers discovered the annual reappearance of Sirius just before dawn a few days before the yearly rising of the Nile, ancient civilizations around the Mediterranean have sought to explain the movements of the heavens as a sort of calendar to help guide them conduct earthly activities. Counting phases of the moon or observing the annual variations of day length could, after many years' collection of observations, serve as vital indicators for planting and harvesting times, safe or stormy season for sailing, or time to bring the flocks from winter to summer pastures. With our millennia of such observation behind us, we sometimes forget that seeing and recording anything less obvious than

Cepheus is an inconspicuous constellation, which is dimmer than most and in the northern hemisphere located west of Cassiopeia. It has been recognized that the binary star Cephei from its constellation, will be the next Polar star between AD 3000 and 5200 (fourth and sixth century), and will be in a position adjacent the celestial pole around AD 4000 (fifth century). The constellation encompasses various nebulae, star clusters and galaxies such as the Milky Way which transverses an area of the Cephus constellation by way of its adjoining southern space with Lacerta.
