The Seated Queen And The Wish Granting Dragon

Orion is my favorite constellation because it is one of the easiest to find and most recognizable. This makes it one of the most popular constellations. Orion's belt includes the three brightest stars in the sky. In the Northern Hemisphere, Orion is a fall and winter constellation, visible from November to February. One of Orion's "stars" is actually a nebula, the Orion nebula.

One of the most familiar constellations in the night sky aside from the Big and Little Dipper is Orion, the Hunter. Made identifiable by the three bright stars that make up "Orion's Belt", Orion is easily recognized throughout the world due to the convenient position upon the celestial equator, allowing the constellation to be seen from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. I chose this constellation as my favorite because it was, in fact, one of the first myths that I had ever learned, and also because it was the easiest constellation that I was able to find from my Constellation Atlas as a child. The constellation of Orion is comprised of mostly of blue stars: young, hot burning, giant stars that range from 243 light years to 1,359

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.

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.

I've choosen apus as my favourite constellation, because it is a very inconspicuous constellation, but yet very beautiful. I love this simplicity of the constellation. It's the 67th of the 88 modern constellations. It's covers an area of 206 square degrees. It's located in the southern hemisphere and can be seen between the the latidutes +5° and -90°. Apus doesn't contain any known planets and it's brightest star is "Alpha Apodis".

Every clear, cloudless night, away from the bright town lights, the night sky treats us to a dazzling spectacle. Countless twinkling stars shine down from the heavens, sprinkled all around like fairy dust. It’s illustrated right above us much like Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. But just like the painting, the display is complex and difficult to understand. There are many different parts of the sky with many different topics to go over. One of those topics is the intricacy of constellations. In order to understand what exactly they are, one must start from the beginning, so the most appropriate place to start off is the birth of a star.

The Story of Cassiopeia is a Roman constellation myth as retold by Thomas Kingsley Troupe. This myth tells the story of Cassiopeia, a queen who ruled a kingdom called Ethiopia with her husband Cephas and daughter Andromeda. Andromeda was the most beautiful girl in the kingdom and everyone always told her so. The mother and daughter often commented about how they were more beautiful than anyone even the sea nymphs, but the nymphs went and

In the novel Dragonkeeper by Carole Wilkinson, the moral is how you cannot find yourself without taking risks. Just as Ping escaped from Huangling with her unique, brave and courage’s best friend, Danzi, they both took a risk and went on a journey to find Ping’s identity where she battled against hunters and becomes the true Dragonkeeper. Ping wouldn’t have found her true identity if she hadn’t taken risks.

The constellation was placed in the sky because the Romans feared her judgement, although she left the scales behind because of the horrific nature that the world had become. When the Romans did this, I believe they did it to help please her in the sense that they honored her and wished for her not to return. The Romans weren't as serious as the Greeks when it came to religion, so it somewhat confused me as to why they would do this, but some may have possibly been more believing than others.

My favorite constellation is Crux. I have always been interested in stars, but I have had trouble recognizing constellations. And Crux, or more specifically, the asterism of the Southern Cross, was the first constellation I ever distinguished in the night sky without assistance. I also associate the constellation with the trip that I was on at the time I saw it, since it is not visible from my home. Crux is the smallest constellation, but it is bright and easily seen and recognized with the naked eye. The main asterism, the Southern Cross, is a grouping of five stars in the approximate shape of a cross. The cross is used in navigation similar to the way in which the North Star is used in the northern hemisphere. The longer ‘beam’ of the cross

In his majesty's dragon the mythical creature is as you might expect are dragons. In this book dragons don’t only kill people they are in some ways the good guys they fight wars and can talk to people only a few can breath fire and is some cases acid. They mostly serve as an aerial attack vehicle. Each country has its own native dragons and Temeraire (the main dragon) is from China. Each country specialises in certain types of dragon. In China they specialize in dragons that are graceful and intelligent and in England they specialize in dragons that are good at one thing and aren’t good at other things. As you can see in my book dragons are less like smaug and other generic dragon that I can’t remember the name of and they seem a bit more human

William Blake is the creator of The Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun.

Orion’s belt, which can be seen easily, by the sky-watchers if they have clear skies. The patterns are in the southern sky around 8p.m. The constellation is perhaps the best known pattern in the night sky, rivaling the Big Dipper in fame, and the month of December is a great time for observers to see this celestial gem.

To find the famous star cluster in the night sky, begin by looking for the constellation of Orion. Using the three stars that mark Orion’s Belt, imagine a line drawn through the three stars to the right and continue to a V-shaped pattern of stars with a bright star in its midst. The V-shaped pattern is the face of Taurus, the Bull. The bright star in the V-shape is called Aldebaran, and depicts the Bull’s blood-red Eye. Continue a bit past Aldebaran until arriving at the Pleiades star cluster, which marks the Bull’s Shoulder. A good star chart will help locate the constellation star patterns.

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.
