I chose the constellation Andromeda because the back story and myths it has really fascinates me! I feel that some of the myths behind the consolations can be rather boring, but with the romance and danger all wrapped into one, I continue going back to it. This constellation is the 19th largest in the sky and is located in the first quadrant of the northern hemisphere. It takes seven-hundred-twenty-two square feet in the sky! The myth is that Cassiopeia, Andromeda's mother was telling everybody that her daughter was the most beautiful person ever created and that she was even more beautiful then the gods themselves. Naturally, that upset the gods, mostly Poseidon, because he thought he had made the most beautiful women in the world and those …show more content…
She got chained to a rock and as the sea monster arrived Perseus arrived, flying down on the winged sandals Hermes gave him. He had just slayed Medusa and had her head in a bag, which he used to turn Cetus into stone. Perseus then took the beautiful, and alive, Andromeda to be his bride and queen.Because she was queen she was honored in the stars forever. There once was a beautiful girl born to a poor family who had so much love for her, as she was the only daughter of eight. Unfortunately, they never had enough time with her, and her parents needed another son so he could work in the fields, not a daughter, who they would have to save up for a dowry. As she grew older her beauty did not fade, but alas, it grew stronger, yet she did not notice. At her 15th birthday her parents grew tired and their number one mission became to marry her off, as they just had a great harvest and could afford a small dowry. They made her walk through the local village in thin clothing every day so that the men would notice her, and make her curl her hair and spend time working on her looks so that her natural beauty could not shine through, only the
I have decided to speak of Andromeda, which has an interesting history for my taste and has many interesting facts, for example "Pegaso" shares with the contelacion star Cassiopeia and Cepheus, Kings of Ethiopia were the parents of Andromeda. The Queen Cassiopeia boasted of the beauty of his daughter, and likened it to the Nereids, daughters of the God of the sea Poseidon. Sea goddesses, in response to this affront, Poseidon demanded revenge and it was like this sent a sea monster (Cetus) to destroy the coasts of the country. Cepheus went to the Oracle of Zeus who advised him as the only way to calm the anger of the gods and get rid of the monster was sacrificing his daughter Andromeda attaching it to a rock on the cliff so that the Monster
My favorite constellation is Andromeda, and not because of the myth behind her creation or how she looks in the sky. I like Andromeda because just inside her center is the coolest possible thing to see in the night sky. Looking only as a small blurry spot inside of Andromeda, the Andromeda Galaxy is the Milky Way's closest neighboring galaxy. It can be seen (with some degree of difficulty), without the aid of a telescope or binoculars. It blows my mind to know that I am looking at another galaxy entirely!
Andromeda is daughter of Cassiopeia and Cepheus, king of joppa, her mother told the Nereids that attended poseidon, that her and her daughter were more beautiful than they are, the Nereids went crying to poseidon and he was very angry and they sacrificed her and chained her to a rock, until Perseus saw her and fell in love with her, he killed the monsters and claimed her hand as a reward married her, Perseus, his grandfather is king Acrisius, king of Argos, he was told by an oracle that his grandson would kill him, he was scared it would happen so he lock his daughter in a brass tower, the tower had no doors or and just left a slit, one day he saw the tower glowing he and his men went to go see what was happening and Acrisius heard
I have chosen to use the constellation Andromeda. I chose it, because I did not know much about it and enjoyed doing a bit of research over this particular constellation. The constellation Andromeda was first catalogued by Ptolemy. It’s the nineteenth biggest constellation and the brightest start is Alpheratz.
The legendary Queen Cassiopeia one day announced she was more beautiful than all the Nereids. Nereids are stunningly beautiful sea spirits, who thought this was terribly wrong. They then told Poseidon, god of sea and storms. Poseidon sent a sea monster after her husband King Cepheus. He then discovered that he would would need to give the serpent his daughter, Andromeda, so he could save his kingdom from the monster. He put his daughter where the serpent would find her. Then along came the wonderful hero Perseus who saved her.
Perseus met Andromeda when he was flying home on his enchanted shoes after he had just got done killing Medusa. He saw her chained to rocks waiting for a sea monster devoured her. While she was awaiting her doom, the vain queen was bragging about how her daughter, Andromeda was more beautiful than the Nereids. This angered them and they went complaining to Poseidon and he
My favorite constellation would be the Cassiopeia. It is one of the most recognizable constellations in the northern sky during night time in fall and early winter. It has a W shape formed by five bright stars. It is part of the 48 constellations written in Ptolemy's work in the 2nd-century and still part of the 88 modern constellations today.
Andromeda is the name of my country. It is 150 miles from the nearest land. My subjects have been debating on which religion our country should have. I believe that we should have religious freedom because everyone deserves the right to worship what they believe in, my people should not have to worship what they don’t believe in, and my people will not have to fight over which religion they want.
My favorite constellation is the Capricornus constellation. I don't know much about constellations, so this is my favorite mainly because in astrology (and I'm aware it's different from astronomy) my sign is Capricorn. Capricornus is supposed to create the image of a goat with the tail of a fish. This is because Capricorn has this form, and so the constellation is based off of the astrological zodiac.
I chose the constellation of Aries because of it's fascinating history and it's story in mythology. It's located in the northern hemisphere between Pisces to the west and Taurus to the east. It's name is latin for ram and because of that it's sign represents ram's horns. This constellation possesses only four stars: Hamal(Alpha Arietis, second magnitude ) , then Sheratan ( Beta Arietis, third magnitude ) and at last Mesarthim and 41 Arietis ( both of them Gamma Arietis, forth magnitude ).
The constellation I've chosen is Orion "The Hunter", because it is one of the most well known constellations in the night sky. It is one of the few I know and can point out in the night sky, although usually I can only see the belt. Orion also has my favorite star in it; the Betelguese red giant. When I was younger, I read a lot of astronomy books, and I remember reading about red giants and how big they were. That really interested me, because it was just so mind blowing at the time how unfathomably large space is.
Mass Effect: Andromeda is a magnificently glitchy game. I have seen a crewmate go through osmosis while talking to him, I've fought an alien dinosaur that suddenly stopped moving its body (but still glided along the jungle floor and attacked me), and, through cunning manipulation of my space-car's six wheel drive and boost functions, have successfully driven up a vertical cliff face (though arguably that's a feature, not a bug). Of course, there are weirder visual flaws, like most of a character's face not moving while they speak or the world being so big that the game forgets to load the people I have to talk to to complete my quest. It’s frustrating sometimes – and downright baffling other times
My favourite constellation is most probably Monoceros ("The Unicorn"), because I think that it is the most recognisable constellation in the night sky. Monoceros is a constellation that can be found on the celstial equator, and the actual name "Monoceros" is Greek for unicorn. It is bordered by Orion to the west, Gemini to the north, Canis Major to the south and Hydra to the east.
I've chosen Orion as my favorite constellation for since I was a child I felt a remarkable passion by Greek Mythology. Among all the myths provided by the Greeks, the story of Orion, the Hunter, became one of my favorites because of its beautiful, tragic end. Besides, Orion was the first constellation I looked for with my father when he got his first Muggle telescope, thus Orion has, for me, an special meaning.
The constellation I have chosen is the Gemini Constellation. I have chosen the Gemini constellation because I was born under Gemini and I have always liked the idea of twins and the closeness of twins. Since the Gemini constellation is of a few sets of twins in several ancient mythologies, I thought it was a great choice. The Gemini constellation was first viewed by Ptolemy in the second century. It is best seen in the month of February, but can still be seen in April and May pretty soon after sunset. It is located close to the equator between the Taurus constellation and the Cancer constellation. It is also located northeast of the constellation Orion. It is made up of several stars, but the most important being Castor and Pollux, which share
