My favourite constellation is Orion, or the hunter, as it's the first one I learned how to identify when I was a kid. Orion is easiest to see from November through to February, to the south-west if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, or the north-west if you are in the southern one. It's most marking feature is the belt, three bright stars in a short line. Most of the stars that make up the constellation or blue giants or supergiants. The myth for this constellation is Greek. In it, Orion claims

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

My favorite constellation is the archer, or better known as the Sagittarius constellation. This constellation is known as a zodiac sign, there are multiple zodiac signs, and they supposed to foretell your personality depending on when you are born. Not only does this constellation have a colorful history, it also has an interesting present. This group of stars is one of the 88 modern day constellations and one of the 48 recognized constellations by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy. It is also located

My favorite Constellation is Canis Major, the Great Dog. It is located in the southern sky and it contains Sirius, the Dog Star. I chose this constellation because of the fact that it contains the Dog Star. I also like this constellation because it looks like it is following or chasing Orion. Canis Major was catalogued by the Greek Astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd Century. This Constellations is the 43rd largest constellation, taking up an area of 380 square degrees. Canis Major is associated with

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

The autumn constellations Andromeda and Perseus, along with Cetus, Pegasus, Cassiopeia and Cepheus, are richly intertwined in mythology, but are vastly diverse in the objects they present to astronomers. While Perseus lies along the Milky Way, and offers many dazzling open star clusters and diffuse nebulae, Andromeda lies away from our galaxy's plane, and introduces us to the inhabitants of intergalactic space. Some of the finest celestial objects reside in these constellations, and it is well worth

My favorite constellation is Cygnus the Swan mostly because of one of the stories that corresponds to it. Cygnus in Latin literally mean “swan!” It is the 16th largest constellation, and it consists of ten stars.The two most notable stars in this constellation are Deneb and Albireo at the tail and head of the constellation. Deneb, a blue-white supergiant at the tail, is the brightest star in Cygnus and the 19th brightest star in the sky! It makes up the Summer Triangle along with Vega and Altair

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

Algedi, Nashira, Prima, Secunda Giedi, and Dabih. The constellation is also a very commonly mentioned zodiac sign, which is called Capricorn. It is one of the twelve astrology signs with the symbol of a “Sea Goat” just like how Capricornus means “Sea Goat” in Latin. Both are very similar except one is used as a constellation and the other is a zodiac sign that tells facts about the type of person you are. Capricornus is more than just a constellation in the sky, but can represent who and how a person
