The Crabr Observation

In Greek mythology, the Nemean Lion was an epic beast that was killed by Heracles, which is the constellation Hercules that was adapted from Heracles. During Heracles' first twelve labours, he killed Leo and the Greeks believe that this Nemean lion was placed among the constellations because of its greatness and because it was the 'King of the Beasts'.

I have chosen the constellation Leo. I have chosen Leo because it is my horoscope sign. The real name of the constellation Leo is leonis which in translation means "the lion". Leo's right ascention is 11 hours, and its declination is 15 degrees. Leo is made up of 11 stars(regulus, denebola, algiebra, zosma, ras elased australius, adhafera, chort, al minliar asad, alterf, ras elesed borialas, subra). Leo is also one of the 13 constellations of the zodiac.

My favorite constellation would have to be Orion. I chose this because I've always thought it would be cool to be shooting down starry prey while soaring among the stars. Orion is a hunter. He is forever in the stars hunting down meals and criminals. To me, Orion seemed like a tough guy. He's by himself in the stars, waiting for someone or something to come his way and end his seemingly endless lonely universe. That's why I chose Orion and a little information on this great hunter.

The constellation Cancer is a crab that not many people bother to look for. The nickname is Cancer the Crab. The mythology states that once there was a goddess named Hera who married Zeus. Their son’s name as Hercules. One day Hercules was battling a Hydra, but Hera was jealous so she sent the crab to nip Hercules fatally. But when the crab tried, Hercules merely found the crab as a nuisance and crushed the crab with his heel. Hera was infuriated and banished the creature to the sky as 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 chose Sagittarius for my favorite constellation. Sagittarius is latin for Archer and sits next to Scorpius on the west and Capricornus to the East. I chose this constellation because it is my astrology constellation and I wanted to learn more about it.

The constellation I am choose is Aquarius. I choose this because according to all information given, it is my zodiac sign. The Aquarius is one of the oldest constellations known, it's name is Latin for water carrier as the constellation is a representative for water. Still in the modern list of constellations, this one is also known as The Great One.

The constellation I have picked is The Wolf or Lupus. I have chosen this constellation because I have a fascination for wolves and I find that this constellation is a good representation of that.Wolves are strong, fearless, and don't back down from a fight unless injured or killed.

I have chosen the constellation Orion. I have loved this giant hunter in our skies since I was a child of about 6 or 7 years old. I first noticed this particular group of stars when my elder little brother was born. I can recall that night as if it were last night. It was a cold night in the middle of October, I was leaving the hospital with my father that night,asking about my new brother and hoping he would be able to come home soon. I recall vividly looking up and wanting to ask the gods and the stars themselves to look after my new little brother and make him well enough,and noticed this beautiful,bright group of stars and asking my father what it was.he said it was Orion,a great hunter and if i wanted to know more about it he could help

Cancer represents the giant crab that attacked Hercules during the second of his twelve labors he performed as penance for killing his family. The crab was sent by the jealous goddess Hera ( goddess

My favorite constellation is the Little Dipper because its so underrated, but its just as good as the big dipper. By the name i hope you can tell that it looks like a little dipper spoon thing that you would cook with. So yeah. Spoons are cool. And I'm underrated so i can really relate to the little dipper, you know? Plus the little dipper has the north star which is a shining star and I'm a shining star so hah.

The constellation I have chosen is the constellation Hydrus. It was originally established by dutchman Petrus Plancius prior to 1603 and is located in the southern hemisphere. While it is composed of three main stars arranged in a vaguely triangular shape, it contains many over twenty one celestial bodies. Some of the stars are known to have planets in their orbit. I chose it because of its pleasing shape and its association with water snakes, of which I am especially fond.

For this essay I have chosen the Leo constellation. I chose Leo because it is one of the first recognized constellations and is one of the easiest to recognize as it actually resembles a lion. I also happen to be a Leo and have always had a fascination with this particular constellation.

The constellation I have chosen is Cancer. I chose this constellation because it is my zodiac sign. Naturally, I found it interesting to learn about and write an essay on my discovery and creation theory. Cancer is Latin for "Crab", The name was chosen because the representation of the the constellation is in fact a crab. The constellation is 506 sq. degrees and made up of faint stars.

I am choosing the Cancer constellation. I have chosen this so I can better understand the origins of my zodiac sign as, while not involved in astronomy, it gives a sort of connection between the two and the constellation one is to be a part of. Cancer, otherwise known as the crab, is the faintest of the thirteen Zodiac constellations. It is best found in the Northern Hemisphere in late winter or early spring. It has what is called a Beehive star cluster, also known as M44.It is in an area of 506 square degrees and contains five main stars, seventy-six flamsteed stars, and ten stars with planets.
