Pluto’s care. Mercury is honored with the Matralia festival, that took place during the summer. It is said that only four hours after he was born Mercury found the shell of a turtle and made a musical instrument out of it with nine cords to honor the nine Muses. Mercury later fell in love with a woman named Larunda. Laranda told Juno of Jupiter’s affair with a nymph and as punishment he cut out her tongue. On his way to escort Laranda to the underworld Mercury fell in love with her, and she later

Laetitia, you destroy me so I can't see why I feel so lonely when you and me could be forever, perfectly perfect together, I know. Broken down in my dead bedroom, stuttering to pictures of you. I know that you can always see me, saw you staring through my TV last night. So I'll leave the door open all night, cause you decide if you want to stop on by 'cause you got to know who's been singing that song on the radio, the one that goes. My friends all call me crazy 'cause I stay up late anticipating

The third sibling Jupiter meets is Balem. Balem holds Jupiter’s family hostage in exchange for the right to rule the Earth. He promises that he will return her family safely and that humans will not be harmed while she lives. When Jupiter rejects his proposal, Balem sets out to kill her to gain possession of the Earth. Jupiter is once again attacked as she is against the popular political rationality. In not allowing Balem to have possession of the Earth, she is preventing him from harvesting and

Ursa Major, translated from Latin means "Larger bear/Great Bear". This constellation contains the group of stars commonly known as the Big Dipper, although apparently many people to this day confuse the Big Dipper as a constellation itself however it is but an asterism, a distinctive group of stars. The whole of Ursa Major is difficult to see without very dark skies (perhaps during winter, out of the city...) the Big Dipper is one of the most recognizable patterns in the Northern sky. I chose this

A moon is like a giant rock in the sky. The moon doesn’t have any atmosphere, which means there is no air in the moon. There are holes in the moon called craters caused by meteorites and asteroids that hit the moon. There is also hardened lava from old volcanos that have erupted. http://www.kidcyber.com.au/moon What is the purpose of all moons? The moons purpose is to light up the night sky. The moons reflects the sun’s lights and shines it on earth even if the sun is on the opposite side

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

I chose to do my essay on the constellation Sagittarius. The reason I chose this constellation is because it has always fascinated me. I also chose it because it would give me a reason to learn more about it. Sagittarius is Latin for archer. The constellation Sagittarius occupies 867 square degrees and contains the most stars, making it the largest constellation in the Southern Hemisphere and the 15th largest over all. Sagittarius also contains 16 planets and is home to the bright blue hyper-giant

My favorite constellation is Andromeda. Not only is this constellation prominent during my favorite season, fall, the story of Andromeda is fascinating. Andromeda is one of the 88 modern constellations and one of 48 listed by the 2nd century Greco-Roman astronomer Ptolemy. Andromeda is one of the largest constellations having an area of 722 square degrees. A notable feature for Andromeda would be the deep-sky object Andromeda galaxy which is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way. The queen

The constellation that I’ve chosen to discuss in this essay is the constellation Andromeda. The reason why I’ve chosen this constellation is as a young girl I’ve always loved the Greek Myths in all their many versions. I remember liking the tale of Perseus and Andromeda and the sense of adventure I found in the tale. The constellation Andromeda is said to be located in the northern sky, otherwise called the northern hemisphere, containing the ‘Andromeda Galaxy’. Following on with the Greek myth

The earth is round due to the fact that when we look up into space, we can see that the other planets are round, so we can infer that earth must be round as well. Another reasoning can be how we have time zones, which means the sun hit different places at different times on earth. The sun also travels lower when you get away from the equator. At night, the stars change when you go from north to south. Lastly, during a solar eclipse, the shadow of the earth on the moon is curved. The idea of a flat
