This is my constellation named the Lynx. The lynx constellation has many myths though i am going to tell you one of the shorter ones. What this myth was about was that a person named Hevelius named the constellation between Gemini, Auriga, and Ursa Major which is Lynx. He had named this constellation because it is so faint that no one like Hevelius could see it unless you had the eyesight of a Lynx. Because of this he challenged many people who used telescopes. Hevelius loved 3 qualities of the Lynx. They were it seeks, it sees, but it cannot be seen. This Lynx constellation is the 28th largest. Though it can only be seen during December through March in the Northern sky. Its major star is Alpha Lyncis. It is 55 times the sun’s radius. Shining
My Favorite Constellation is Hercules. Hercules is the fifth largest constellation in the sky, occupying an area of 1225 square feet in the sky. I've chosen this constellation because I quite enjoy the Greek myth behind it.
My favourite constellation is Apus. Apus is also known as 'The Bird of Paradise'. It is called this as the Greek, who named the costellation, knew the bird of paradise to have no feet. By looking up at Apus, you can see the body figure but no feet. Apus also translates into 'no feet' in Greek. I chose this constellation because I am intrigued at why the bird of paradise, so to speak, has no legs and why this is so great. Apus intrigues my sense of curiosity as to it's origin and why it is called what it is.
The Constellation I will be talking about today is Orion, Commonly known as The Hunter. Orion's is a hunter from Greek Mythology and is one of the most recognizable constellations. Orion has some of the brightest stars(some examples are Betelgeuse and Rigel) and is one of the prettiest winter constellations in my opinion.
I have chosen the constellation Draco. I chose it because it is in the form of a dragon and dragons are my favorite mythological creatures. It is located in the far northern sky. It's name is Latin for dragon. It can be see all year from the North.
Orion, also called The Hunter is my favorite constellation because it is perhaps the most prominent and well-known constellation, anywhere in the world, because its stars are so bright that it is possible to observe with the naked eye. Orion is located near the constellation Eridanus River and supported by his two hunting dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor fighting constellation Taurus.
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.
The constellation I have picked is The Wolf or Lupus. I have chosen this constellation because I have a fascination for wolves and I find that this constellation is a good representation of that.Wolves are strong, fearless, and don't back down from a fight unless injured or killed.
Pegasus is my favorite constellation. It lies in the northern sky and looks like a box with legs. I like the idea of a horse with wings that can not only gallop across land but also fly freely through the sky. I dream sometimes of having my own winged horse to ride and for this reason Pegasus is my favorite constellation.
The constellation I choose was Leo The lion. I choose Leo because it is my zodiac sign. The constellation Leo is one of the earliest recognizable constellations. The constellation Leo is also best visible during April. Leo is one of the 13 sings of the the zodiac, and is the fifth sign, representing those born around July 22 until around August 22.
I really like the constellation Lupus also known as the wolf mainly because I really like wolves and well I have a few ideas on a story behind the costellation. You can see Lupus best in June at 9:00 pm. The neighboring constellations are
My favorite constellation is Capricorn. I love the creature behind it, the zodiac lore tied in, and for some reason I find the shape very appealing. It is located just above Cancer in the night sky. Two of the stars making up the constellation have known planets, and every star is faint enough to make Capricorn one of the faintest constellations in the sky. It can be seen best at 9 P.M. during the month of September.
There are not many myths of the creation of the Lynx as it is a more recent discovery than the other constellations, although a few still exists. One is about Johannes Hevelius himself - apparently he used to boast about his great eyesight which was similar to that of a nocturnal European Lynx and allowed him to see inside the constellation. One of Hevelius' greatest prides was his eyesight, so he would think himself better than astronomers who used telescopes. In Hevelius' opinion, the three greatest qualities of the Lynx were that is seeks, sees and most importantly isn't seen, just like the constellation. Another myth is about a greek man named Lynceus who could see in the dark, underground, through trees, earth and walls. People believed
I have chosen the constellation Orion. I have loved this giant hunter in our skies since I was a child of about 6 or 7 years old. I first noticed this particular group of stars when my elder little brother was born. I can recall that night as if it were last night. It was a cold night in the middle of October, I was leaving the hospital with my father that night,asking about my new brother and hoping he would be able to come home soon. I recall vividly looking up and wanting to ask the gods and the stars themselves to look after my new little brother and make him well enough,and noticed this beautiful,bright group of stars and asking my father what it was.he said it was Orion,a great hunter and if i wanted to know more about it he could help
The constellation I have chosen is Cancer. I chose this constellation because it is my zodiac sign. Naturally, I found it interesting to learn about and write an essay on my discovery and creation theory. Cancer is Latin for "Crab", The name was chosen because the representation of the the constellation is in fact a crab. The constellation is 506 sq. degrees and made up of faint stars.
My favorite constellation is Pisces, of 'the fish'. I chose this constellation as my favorite because of the fact that it is the one i born under and feel the most kinship towards. My zodiac star has always been important to me, and the personality traits that are associated with it have never failed to describe myself at a soul deep level. This constellation is located between Aries and Aquarius and its orbital intersects with that of Virgos. Pisces can be seen by the naked eye and its meteor showers are called the Piscids.
