Scorpius Research Paper

Stars Castor, Pollux, Alhena, Wasat, Clown Nebula, Tejat Posterior, M35, NGC 2372 all make up this constellation. Although not all of these star names are featured in the Gemini Greek myth, Castor and Pollux are. The myth goes like this: Gemini, the constellation of course, represents two twins. Castor and Pollux, although they do not have the same father. Pollux's father is Zeus, also known as Jupiter in Roman mythology, who made their mother pregnant as a swan. And Caster's father, King Tyndarus of Sparta who is Lena's husband. Therefore, Pollux is immortal and Caster is not. Lena also had another child with Kind Tyndarus, Helen, also known as Helen of Troy. Continuing on with the story, Pollux, being immortal, was famous for his incredible strength and Castor was famed for his skill will horses. Other accomplishments include, both of them traveling as argonauts to find the Golden Fleece. As well as fighting in the Trojan war to help bring their sister, Helen home to her

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.

Apollo decided to intervene, and he sent a giant scorpion to kill Orion. Even though he was a very skilled huntsman, he was unable to defeat the scorpion, and he died. When Artemis found out, she was heart-broken, and in order to maintain his memory and legacy, she placed him among the stars in a constellation.

The myth that goes with this constellation is this: The greek god Zeus had an affair with the queen of Tiryns, and produced a demigod named Hercules (or Heracles) and Hera, the queen of the gods, swore to kill Hercules as punishment for her husband's (Zeus) infidelity. In one of Hercules 12 tasks he was battling Hydra, a sea serpent, and Hera sent Cancer to aid Hydra. Hercules crushed the crab under his foot and as token to Cancer,

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.

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.

The greeks say that Sagittarrius is an archer by the name of Crotius. Crotius is credited by the ancient Greeks as discovering Archery. He used to ride around on Horseback and shoot off arrows. He said ton Zeus that he needed to be put up in the sky and so he was.

I chose the constellation of Aries because of it's fascinating history and it's story in mythology. It's located in the northern hemisphere between Pisces to the west and Taurus to the east. It's name is latin for ram and because of that it's sign represents ram's horns. This constellation possesses only four stars: Hamal(Alpha Arietis, second magnitude ) , then Sheratan ( Beta Arietis, third magnitude ) and at last Mesarthim and 41 Arietis ( both of them Gamma Arietis, forth magnitude ).

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.

He earned a spot amongst her hunters (who are generally only female) and was hailed as the best hunter the world had ever seen. There are different versions of his death, but one of the first says that he bragged to Artemis about his hunting prowess, saying he could kill any creature of the Earth. The Earth heard this and sent the Scorpion (Scorpio) to kill him. Orion and the Scorpion killed each other, and Artemis preserved them both in the night

The constellation I have chosen is Hercules. The reason I have chosen him is because, Hercules signals strength and will. Which are two things I think everyone should have. Another reason is because, he was one of the original 48 constellations found by one of my favorite astronomers, Ptolemy. Today it remains as one of the 88 most common ones. It is also the fifth largest of all the major constellations.

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.

I have chosen the constellation named Aquarius because it is my sign of the Zodiac. Its name is Latin for "cup-carrier" or "water-carrier". Its sign is a representation of water. The main star and the must shining one is β Aquarii. It is a yellow supergiant named for the Arabic phrase meaning "Luckiest of the lucky stars". Aquarius is a sign of the Zodiac (20th January to 19th February).

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.
