    My favorite constellation is the Ophiuchus (also known by its Latin name Serpentarius). It lies in the northern sky and is, in fact, the 11th largest constellation. It belongs to the Hercules family of constellation and contains seven Messier objects and a number of notable stars. It is my favorite because of the myth associated with it, which I learned during a camping trip from a classmate who wanted to explore the outer space and knew much about the stars. Years later, that campfire story is one

    constellation I've chosen is Ophiuchus anglicized as 'the snake-bearer'. This constellation initially interested me as a Slytherin for the obvious snake connections. Ophiuchus is the thirteenth constellation of the zodiac, and was added astrologically in 2011. It's represented as a man grasping a snake, the snake being the separate constellation Serpens. The second closest star to Earth, Barnard's Star, is within the Ophiuchus constellation. The Romans associated the Ophiuchus constellation with Asclepius

    and define your social class. You’re born into a quadrant and can’t change the one you belong too. It’s frowned upon for quadrants to socialize outside of jobs, and romantic relationships between them are forbidden --or at least they were before Ophiuchus and I...but nevermind that; we’re not there yet-- The first quadrant is Alpha.

    I have chosen the constellation Orion also known as the Hunter. I chose this constellation because it means to me that no one is forgotten, there is no oblivion even for those who deserve it. Orion is visible everywhere in the world as it sits on the celestial equator. It is very recognisable in the sky and all its stars are quite bright which means it is a very prominent constellation. The constellation of Orion has an interesting back story based on the hunter of the same namesake in greek mythology
