The same applies for Ares V, though some people in the Congress are pushing for a similar heavy lift launcher.
Under the compromise plan, Orion was supposed to be re-purposed as a "lifeboat" for the International Space Station, but Lockheed Martin wants to finish it with its own money and launch it atop a Dealta IV Heavy launcher:

What is the name of the red star in constellation of scorpio?
Antares.. pronounced ant tar ees. A red supergiant, it's surface would reach as far as Jupiter if it replaced the Sun.What is the name of the red star in constellation of scorpio?Mars?What is the name of the red star in constellation of scorpio?A giant red binary star, the brightest in the constellation Scorpio, is named Antares.
Would the closer a persons sun to the middle of a constellation ....make him/her more like that sign?
meaning the closer to the middle the more like that sign he/she would be and what about after the center of the constellation has been passed??
why so for this??
Thanks for your answers!Would the closer a persons sun to the middle of a constellation ....make him/her more like that sign?Actually, that's not really true.
All signs have three decans within them, taken from the three signs of the same element, and they go in order.
For example Libra is divided into the Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini decans. So, a Libra born in the Libra decan (Sept 23- Oct 2nd) is more "Libra-like" than say, a Libra born in the Aquarius decan, though all are definitely Libras. With every sign, the first 8-10 days or so are the most like their "textbook sun sign" if no other factors are involved.
However what you might be feeling is the fact that a person born in the middle of his/her sign has a large probability of also having a Venus or Mercury sign placed in the same sign as their Sun.
For example my girlfriend has a middle sign birthday (Pisces decan of Scorpio) and has a matching Venus and Mercury. I am born closer to the cusp (Sag/Scorp) though not ON the cusp, and have Sagittarius sun and Mercury, but I have a Scorpio Venus.
This is how I would put it. Being born in the beginning of a sign gives you the "core values" of that sun sign. Being born in a different decan, but with other planets in the sun sign, gives you styles of expressing yourself that are most like your sun sign--though you you may display more core values of your general element(water, air, earth,fire).

No.Would the closer a persons sun to the middle of a constellation ....make him/her more like that sign?Superstitious nonsenseWould the closer a persons sun to the middle of a constellation ....make him/her more like that sign?
no, I think, its actually the closer to the start. I know for the ascending signs and moon sign, the smaller the degree, the bigger the influence, so i assume its the same for sun sign.Would the closer a persons sun to the middle of a constellation ....make him/her more like that sign?There are things called decanates in astrology - the first ten degrees of a sign is the strongest and purest of the sign.
For example scorpio would be a pure scorpio if the sun was in the first 10 degrees, the second ten degrees would be a scorpio with a tinge of pisces and the last ten degrees would be a scorpio with a tinge of pisces
http://astrology.findyourfate.com/astrol鈥?/a>Would the closer a persons sun to the middle of a constellation ....make him/her more like that sign?
Actually, it's the beginning of the sign...it's simple mathematics...
When something is moving forward, it has more momentum...the pressure is more full force.
Thats why the first decante of pisces is pisces as well..
It's like a train whistle, when it's coming at you it's getting louder, it has more strength adn momentum behind it...the middle is loudest, but it's also closer to fading out...
why so for this??

How was the constellation gemini discovered?
It was never discovered. Constellations are just stars visible to the naked eye that people (a long, long time ago) grouped together because they resembled something. Now astronomers use constellations to divide the night sky up. You may hear a new distant galaxy has been discovered in this or that constellation but that just means that someone took a really powerful telescope and pointed it at a certain constellation and saw something very, very far away.How was the constellation gemini discovered?Gemini

[edit] Notable Deep Sky Objects
Gemini contains only one Messier Object, Open Cluster M35. It also contains many interesting nebulas and star clusters. NGC 2158 is just southeast of M35. Also of note is the unique Eskimo Nebula, (also known as the Clownface Nebula) just southeast of the NGC 2420 open star cluster. Far northeast of this cluster lies NGC 2371, a planetary nebula next to the Gemini twin on the right. Another popular nebula in Gemini lies in the southern tip of the constellation, Abell 21 the Medusa Nebula.
[edit] Mythology
Since this constellation is easily viewable as two parallel stick figures [1], considering faint stars visible to the naked eye, it was associated with the myth of Castor and Polydeuces (also known as Pollux), collectively known as the Dioscuri. A myth of these twins heavily concerns cattle theft, and may be connected to early views of the Milky Way, as a herd of dairy cows or cattle, by which they are situated.
The orientation of the constellation can vary (since they readily form stick figures whether leaning right or left), though the twins are usually viewed as left leaning. However, when right leaning, one of the twins resides in the Milky Way, and the other outside it, a situation making it appear that one of the twins is stealing the cattle, and the other is observing. In this situation, together with the area of the sky that is deserted (now considered as the new and extremely faint constellations Camelopardalis and Lynx), and the other features of the area in the Zodiac sign of Gemini (i.e. Orion, Auriga, and Canis Major), this may be the origin of the myth of the cattle of Geryon, which forms one of The Twelve Labours of Heracles.
[edit] Astrology
The Western astrological sign of Gemini forms part of the tropical zodiac (May 21 - June 20) and of the sidereal zodiac (June 15 - July 16). Note that according to the IAU, the sun enters the constellation at June 21 and leaves it at July 21. However, these dates are based on the currently defined borders of Gemini which were purely drawn for navigational purposes without consideration for use by astrology.
In tropical astrology it is associated with the decorated floral profusion of late spring and early summer. In sidereal astrology it is associated with the constellation Gemini and the Greek myth of Castor (or Kastor) and Pollux.
Gemini is associated with the classical element Air, and thus called an Air Sign (with Libra and Aquarius). It is also one of the four mutable signs (along with Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces). Its polar opposite is Sagittarius. It is the domicile of Mercury. Each astrological sign is assigned a part of the body, viewed as the seat of its power. Gemini rules the nervous system, the lungs, the hands and arms. The symbol for Gemini is the twins. Gemini are communicators of the Zodiac. They are also the nonconformists of the Zodiac.

Do you know of any galaxies that can be found in more than one constellation?
Examples?Do you know of any galaxies that can be found in more than one constellation?No, you have it backwards.
The stars we see as formations called constellations all belong to the Milky Way Galaxy.
Distant galaxies are catalogued separately and are NOT a part of any constellation. The human eye was responsible for conjuring up the various patterns. Only stars qualify as members of a constellation, and ALL stars visible to the naked eye reside within our Milky Way. For the record, our classic constellation count is 88. But that's not the same as the Chinese, Egyptian, Norse. Navajo, Lakota Sioux, Inuit, Korean, Aztec, Inca or Dogon, to name only a few.
Whether or not a galaxy can be found within the boundaries of a specific constellation is moot. You really need to consult "Messier Objects", New General Catalogue (NGC), and others to get a handle on the many, many locations of galaxies in the night sky. The Hubble Space Telescope has given us a good estimate of 172 billion galaxies scattered out there. Whare would you like to start?
BTW, how many times are you going to ask variants of this same question, dude?Do you know of any galaxies that can be found in more than one constellation?Most galaxies are very small in angular size. There are undoubtedly a few minor examples which fall exactly on constellation boundaries, but they are merely oddities. The only galaxy large enough to span more than one galaxy is the Milky Way, which winds through a couple of dozen constellations.
[Edit] I just did a count, and the Milky Way runs hrough about 33 constellations. The Large Magellanic Cloud is split between two constellations, Mensa and Dorado, but the Small Magellanic Cloud is confined to Tucana.Do you know of any galaxies that can be found in more than one constellation?NGC 3321 , type Sb galaxy @ RA: 10h 38m 50.55s Dec: -11掳 38' 55.2" in the constellation Sextans is an extended object measuring 2.511'鈥?1.25', the center of which is only .08' from the boarder of Hydra.

It has a companion, NGC 3322 which likely does the same but I can find no info on it. It is a double constellation hopper.Do you know of any galaxies that can be found in more than one constellation?
If a galaxy were to sit right on the border between two constellations it could be in two. Since they are extended objects this is possible, but I can't think of any where it actually is the case.

Its name is Latin for the poop deck of a ship, and it was originally part of a larger constellation, the ship Argo Navis, which was later divided into three parts, the others being Carina and Vela; Puppis is the largest of the three.
In my dreams i saw a constellation of a fish eating a crocodile, and then they came alive, whats the meaning?
it was a weird dream, i remember it vividly, I've never remembered a dream before like this, before the constellation appeared the moon became larger and then it moved around the sky, then the stars lit up amazingly bright and the constellation appeared and then it went immediately afterwards and it was sunrise .
i need to know what this dream means, please someone out their knowsIn my dreams i saw a constellation of a fish eating a crocodile, and then they came alive, whats the meaning?The moon closer to the earth makes the tide grows. Both are aquatic creatures, affected by water. The moon is whimsical moving around the sky (creates an environment against the strong), benefiting the weakest creature... the fish eats the crocodile. The appearance of these constellations is bright and sudden... then, comes the sun; you're the one who benefits before the moon is gone.
You'll be in a favorable situation in connection with your superiors, in the same field (both affected by water). You must be pending... to obtain more, because it'll come fast. Don't worry, you'll see it easily.

What group of people named the constellation ARIES?
What ethnic group to be more specific?What group of people named the constellation ARIES?The Greeks - it was named after the god of war - Aries - the reason is because its main starting star is Mars (Roman God of War) which starts as the Greco Roman collaboration before the founding of Constantinopal.What group of people named the constellation ARIES?the birth of astrology goes way back in time.. I think it was the Persians or Babylonians. I'm not sure thoughWhat group of people named the constellation ARIES?not just because the word is greek doesn't mean the greeks named it, pluto is a roman word for the ninth planet from the moon and some little girl in like czechoslovakia came up with it or something , does it really matter who named it , or that it is named what it is.What group of people named the constellation ARIES?
probably the Greeks; the name is Greek anyway. Perhaps they translated it from Persian...
BTW: Aries is a ram, %26amp; it has nothing to do with Ares.

How rare will this Mars in retrograde be this autumn and which constellation will it be in?
anything unique about this?
please explain.
also, how often does this occur for Mars?
is it same time or same length of time?
please explain.How rare will this Mars in retrograde be this autumn and which constellation will it be in?don't worry about such things because horoscopes are a load of rubbishHow rare will this Mars in retrograde be this autumn and which constellation will it be in?Mars will be in Cancer throughout most of the Autumn this year.
Starting in July, around the 20th, you'll see this fabulous line-up across the early night sky: Saturn in the East, Mercury, Venus, ending with Mars in the West, near Orion's upper right "hand". That will be a lovely sight!
Next, in August, Orion's right foot and right hand line up to point to Mars in Taurus. By September, Mars is creeping back to the East right into Gemini and Orion will have already set in the West.
By October, Mars has moved into Cancer, where it will stay until December before moving into Leo.
The positions of the planets are different all the time. I'm sure there are computers or calculators somewhere that can tell you when to expect this particular configuration to happen again, but I dont' know myself how to determine this.
I use this website, below, when I want to know what's in the night sky on any particular date or time, using my own location as "home" (e.g. Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, UK versus Raleigh, NC, USA). Just set up a login and password, plonk in your current location, and click on Whole Sky Chart. It will tell you what's in the night sky on any chosen date, any chosen time, above your location.
Hope this helps!

Why are the visible summer constellation different from the visible winter constellation?
The winter stars are on the other side of the sun than the summer stars.
At night you are facing away from the sun when you look up. The earth goes around the sun once a year, every 6 months the 'night side' of the earth is facing different stars, and that's what you see.

Do you believe there are "Aliens" in the Sirius constellation?

Oh, well if conspiracy theorists say it, it must be true.Do you believe there are "Aliens" in the Sirius constellation?Hahahaha what sort of evidence could be visible, other than structures the size of HUGE planets? hahahaha!
No need to go that far..there are plenty of aliens right here on Earth. They look like humans. Only, they do not think. I don't know if it's because they got no brain or because they forget to use it. Fact is: they don't think.Do you believe there are "Aliens" in the Sirius constellation?Maybe.
I am not sure about if there are "Aliens" in the Sirus or not.
I belive there are aliens in the universe, because there are plenty of galaxies and stars in the universe.

Sod any conspiracy, if it were so it would be very profound to find life only about 6 light years away.
Space is so vast, there has to be a possibility of more life out there intelligent or not.
Imagine making contact with beings from that little twinkler bottom left of Orion.
I haven't met any myself.
Connected to this there is a scientific theory that every time we have a comet in our solar system it sprinkles dust on the planets and seeds new forms to life on those that are able to support it. Explains how life started. Good old comets.
No because there is no such thing as the Sirius constellation...
"Sirius-ly", ..., no.
Those blocks are just places where data is missing. I can look in those places anytime I want to with my scope or review other complete sky surveys and see better images that Google sky has. BTW, my favorite missing Google block is in the constellation Octans ... it's in the shape of an Octagon ... cute pun, huh?
There's no such thing as Sirius constellation. The star Sirius is located in Canis Major constellation.
As for the possibility of life out there... why not?
Google blocks the Sky? What, for all the billions on the Earth that can look up for free?
Sirius is a bright object (Brightest star).
They might be!!!!!!!!
But I believe that they are in the Universe because there are other galaxies .
I suspect there may well be 'aliens' here on Earth!
Conspiracy theorists think the only people who can look at the sky are brain dead morons sitting in front of their PC's using Google ...
The average 'conspiracy theorist' believes everything they are told with no supporting evidence, make no effort to check it out for themselves and believe "it must be true because everyone else says it's not" ..
Don't waste your time with them .. the best way to sort out reality from fiction is to assume the OPPOSITE of whatever the conspiracy theorists believe :-)kasich barometer

Does anyone know where I can find images of the Crux constellation at different stages of the night?
Ideally you should position yourself in southern hemisphere (Brazil, Peru, DR Congo, Tanzania, Angola or further south that includes Australia).
Or else move to south of the Tropic of Cancer atleast(south of 'Sahara', southern parts of Mexico, India, Saudi Arabia or still more to the south) and wait for 'Spring', to see 'Crux' low down on southern horizon if seeing is good (far away from towns; no haze due to lakes, rivers, seas to the south).
It is a beautiful constellation, with 2 first magnitude stars and other brilliant stars in such a small part of sky.

No
We are stopping the spending. Is that not what teh G0P wants?
Less Government is a good thing.
OBAMA does not care for anybody but himself. He believes he is ALWAYS rightWhy is Obama killing NASA's Constellation program despite Congressional approval?
President Barack Obama's stance is that Constellation is "over budget, behind schedule, and lacking in innovation."
In 2009, concerned by price increases on the program, U.S. President Barack Obama ordered a review of the project which indicated that both returning to the Moon and manned flights to Mars were out of NASA's current budget. The Augustine panel decided to advocate proceeding with the Ares V only, with subsequent modifications to transport astronauts when needed, rather than constructing both the Ares I (for crew transport only) and the Ares V (for cargo only). However, advocates for the Constellation program, in testimony given to Congress, pointed out that launching the enormous Ares V for merely transporting people (to the International Space Station for example) would be prohibitively costly.
After reviewing the report, following congressional testimony, the Obama administration decided to exclude Constellation from the 2011 United States federal budget.On February 1, 2010, the President's proposed budget was released, which included no funding for the project.Opposition to President Obama's decision by senators and representatives of both parties may prevent the cancellation. Obama said he will oppose congressional efforts to save the program.
President Obama's argument is that the lifetime for the International Space Station would be extended by an additional 5 years and an additional US$6 billion would be paid to private companies for shuttling astronauts to and from it after the Space Shuttle program ends while NASA develops new technology for future space exploration missions. According to Obama, his vision embodies a "bold new approach to human space flight that embraces commercial industry, forges international partnerships, and invests in the building blocks of a more capable approach to space exploration."
President Obama hosted a Space Conference on April 15, 2010, in Florida.This came at a time when the Obama administration was taking a considerable amount of criticism for leaving the Constellation Program out of the 2011 budget. At the conference Obama and top officials as well as leaders in space discussed the future of U.S. efforts in human space flight and unveiled a plan for NASA that follows the Augustine Panel's "Flexible Path to Mars" option,modifying Obama's prior proposal in two important respects:
1. He proposed continuing development of the Orion capsule, but initially using it as an escape capsule for the ISS so that the ISS crew could be increased to seven, with the technology subsequently forming the basis for future deep space exploration vehicles (cancellation of Orion would have cost a comparable amount to keeping it).
2. He set the year 2015 as the year to choose the architecture for a heavy-lift vehicle and to commence construction.
because he is now using NASA to push his agenda
can you believe that NASA is now putting its resources into proving the bull**** global warming issue?..
Its called saving money, don't the Republicans want to save money by eliminating unnecessary programs? Or is it that Republicans only want to shutter programs that do not primarily benefit whites?

When is the best time to see your zodiac constellation?
when?? 6 months before your birthday?When is the best time to see your zodiac constellation?Since astrology is nonsense, you can look any time you like. It doesn't make any difference.When is the best time to see your zodiac constellation?six months later it will be high in the sky at midnight. eight months after you birthday it will be high early after darkWhen is the best time to see your zodiac constellation?Each constellation is visible for about half the year.
Since it doesn't have any effect on your life one way or the other, it doesn't really make any difference.
Stars that form a pattern in the sky purely by random chance (since the stars of a constellation are not physically connected or related to each other, they are generally hundreds of light years apart) have no effect on us on Earth.
And which constellation is your zodiac constellation?
Due to the precession of the equinoxes, the sun has moved in the sky by one constellation in the 2000 years since astrology was created. For example, I was born in June so I'm supposed to be a Gemini, but the sun was actually in Cancer when I was born.When is the best time to see your zodiac constellation?

I need help with the Neopets Altador Plot in the gears part. (The hunter constellation)?
I don't get how people say the notches have to move to the right. And i just can't find the three correct gears. Can anybody help me? Thank you.I need help with the Neopets Altador Plot in the gears part. (The hunter constellation)?There are 9 gears, and it will reset after 10 tries, so do this carefully:
Put ONE rock in ONE gear, then go see how it opens the ceiling. It needs to open RIGHT ONLY. If it opens left, ignore that gear. If it opens right, count the number of spaces on that inner edge of the ceiling, where it opens up.
Showing the notches:
http://thedailyneopets.com/uploads/altad鈥?/a>
Now, let us say that the first gear opened up 6 notches. Write that down, and try the next gear.
Let us say that gear opened 4 notches. 6 + 4 = 10. You need 15 notches to open it, so in this example the last gear you need must move 5 notches to the right.
When you find the three gears that add up to 15, put one rock in each of these three gears, then open the ceiling.
Finally, don't forget to click the spots to get the constellation!I need help with the Neopets Altador Plot in the gears part. (The hunter constellation)?It's random for everyone.
Have two browser tabs open; In one have the view looking down where the spots are and the other in the basement.
Stick a rock in a gear and if a gear causes the thing to move backwards, take the rock out and stick it in another.
Find the right combination of ones that cause the ceiling to open clock-wise and click the spots on the ceiling to get the constellation.

Where is Libra (constellation) located in the sky?
Is it located in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere?
When can you see it?Where is Libra (constellation) located in the sky?It's south of the celestial equator, but visible almost anywhere populated in the Northern Hemisphere. It's a spring constellation...right now it is too close to the Sun to be observed.

What major stars are in the pisces constellation?
i need to know for a project...... i just need a list of the starsWhat major stars are in the pisces constellation?Actually the brightest star in Pisces is Eta Piscium at magnitude 3.6. Alpha Piscium is magnitude 3.8 and is a double star with a mag 4.3 companion. Eta Piscium is also known as AlphergWhat major stars are in the pisces constellation?Hi. All of these. http://www.answers.com/pisces?cat=techno鈥?/a> and these http://www.answers.com/topic/pisces-cons鈥?/a> . Look for the Greek letters (alpha, beta, etc.)What major stars are in the pisces constellation?Poor you. It looks like Pisces had a distinct lack of major stars. Stars in constellations are often called by Greek letters in order from brightest down. Alpha Piscium is the brightest star in Pisces and is named ALRESCHA. Beta Piscium is second brightest, gamma is 3rd, and so on in Greek alphabet alphabetical order. Eta is the 7th letter of the Greek alphabet, and Eta Piscium is the 7th brightest star in Pisces and is named KULLAT NUNU. I couldn't find any more names. See the sources.
Does the constellation Leo Minor have any significance in astrology?
Interesting Question!!! Here is what I found:
About this star (Praecipua - Leo Minor):
A star in the Lesser Lion Leo Minor. Praecipua is a Latin word meaning head, leader, chief, or first.
Influence of the constellation: It gives a generous, noble, peaceable, but fearless nature, with the ability to undertake prominent and responsible positions. (Robson).
Astrologers believed that the clarity of these stars in Leo Minor, foretold the election of meritorious men. (Staal).Does the constellation Leo Minor have any significance in astrology?People are attracted to Leo's zest for life and their warm spirit. They have the ability to lift up one's spirits and provide encouragement when times are rough. Their enthusiasm attracts people, Leos are social butterflies, not because they want to be but because people always naturally gravitate and surround the Leo. Leos are very difficult people to not like, they are usually fairly balanced, realistic people. They never dwell on the past and they will think you are strange if you do. Some Leos might be too caught up in themselves and be very self-centered but they are never too self-absorbed to help anyone who needs it. They pamper their friends and treat them well. A Leo is the ultimate friend. They do not hold a grudge and they are very forgiving. They have respect and understanding of people's differences.bikebandit kayaks

Which constellation remains that is named aftr a Biblical Character aftr modern reorganisation f constellation?
please help me with this..Which constellation remains that is named aftr a Biblical Character aftr modern reorganisation f constellation?Columba: Noah's dove, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columba_%28鈥?/a>Which constellation remains that is named aftr a Biblical Character aftr modern reorganisation f constellation?None of the modern constellations are named after Biblical persons. Several are named after animals, and the same animals are mentioned in the Bible. (I assume that you mean the Judeo-Christian bible).
The only constellation that was purposely named after a bible animal is Columba, latin for "dove". Originally, it was called Columba Noachi ("Noah's Dove") by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius in 1592.
Pisces was not named after the Christian symbol; the constellation was named long before Christ.
There an asterism called "Job's Coffin".Which constellation remains that is named aftr a Biblical Character aftr modern reorganisation f constellation?Pisces, the sign of the fish which was used by early christians to indicate that they followed Christ.

LAS VEGAS & THE VEGA STAR IN THE CONSTELLATION OF LYRA. Was the city built in alignment with the star?
no. not even close.
vega is arabic. las vegas is spanish, and means something completely different.LAS VEGAS %26amp; THE VEGA STAR IN THE CONSTELLATION OF LYRA. Was the city built in alignment with the star?That's an imaginitive idea, but no.
My Spanish dictionary says "Las Vegas" means, "the fertile plains."
This web site (http://www.icoproject.org/star.html ) says that the star name "Vega" is a corruption of the Arabic "Al Waqi'", which means "The stooping eagle."
It's not really meaningful to align something on the ground with a star, because the star's position in the sky changes all the time as the earth rotates. Vega is sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, and sometimes straight overhead.LAS VEGAS %26amp; THE VEGA STAR IN THE CONSTELLATION OF LYRA. Was the city built in alignment with the star?
No. Las Vegas was initially built where there was a supply of water located near the border of Las Vegas and North Las Vegas. It grew when the Union Pacific Railroad put a line through the town, and it needed a place to add fuel and water for the steam engines. The station was located at the intersection of Fremont St. and Main St.
When Boulder Dam was built in the 1930s, the town grew to meet the needs of the dam workers. My grandparents arrived in Las Vegas in 1931 to supply clothing to the prostitutes in the brothels downtown.LAS VEGAS %26amp; THE VEGA STAR IN THE CONSTELLATION OF LYRA. Was the city built in alignment with the star?No.
"Las Vegas" means "meadows" in Spanish. The area was an oasis in the Nevada desert due to artesian springs.
"Vega" is a transliteration of the Wega which itself comes from a loose transliteration of the Arabic word w膩qi meaning "falling" or "landing".LAS VEGAS %26amp; THE VEGA STAR IN THE CONSTELLATION OF LYRA. Was the city built in alignment with the star?
Nothing can be built in alignment with a single point. Vega is named after an Arabic term, "the alighting vulture", because the constellation Lyra was seen as a vulture by the Arabs.
Las Vegas is Spanish for "The Meadows"LAS VEGAS %26amp; THE VEGA STAR IN THE CONSTELLATION OF LYRA. Was the city built in alignment with the star?No.It was built because it was in an ideal location for The Mob to base a gambling town away from any big city.

How do you use the Southern Cross constellation to find your latitude? ?
You can't. Unlike the situation in the Northern Hemisphere, where the second magnitude star Polaris marks the location of the north celestial pole, there is no equivalent marker star in the Southern Hemisphere, except for dim Sigma Octantis. The Southern Cross constellation is actually quite far from the location of the south celestial pole, so can't be used to find it.How do you use the Southern Cross constellation to find your latitude? ?you don't. it points, roughly, to the south celestial pole, but the nearest thing to a southern pole star (sigma octantis) requires dark country skies to even see it.How do you use the Southern Cross constellation to find your latitude? ?I believe you measure it's angle above the horizon in degrees.
At the equator, it would be zero, at the south pole ninety degrees.

What are the two differant constellations on the "midheaven" when the constellation "Leo" is rising ?
btw, how about same quesition applying to "Scorpio"?
btw, how do the signs relate or are similar ?
please explain how they might be tied to each other?
Thanks for your answers!What are the two differant constellations on the "midheaven" when the constellation "Leo" is rising ?I read : "What is in the Midheaven when Leo is rising depends on the Systems of house-division. The dividing points are known as "cusps". There are numerous systems of house-division favoured by different Astrologers, dividing the equator, the ecliptic, or the Prime vertical, into 12 parts. One system, the Placidean, ( or the "Tropical Geocentric Placidus", and or, the "Geocentric Tropical Koch system Houses" *), is the most commonly used.
The "Equal House" Division system is the oldest of all systems. Except that in its earliest use, the MC was not incorporated.
The rising degree or Ascendant is taken as a starting point and represents the 1rst House. Each House extends 30 degrees.
In what is called the "Quadrant House" system the MC always corresponds to the 10th House cusp. Using Equal House only very rarely ( when the MC is exactly 90 degrees from the Ascendant ) does it correspond to the 10th cusp.
The MC can appear in either the 8th, 9th,10th, or 11th Houses, according to the time of the year and the time of the day for which a Chart is cast. This is because of the variation in time taken by certain signs to ascend over the eastern horizon.
In every 24 hours all 12 signs ascend over the eastern horizon ( in latitudes below the Arctic Circle ), and each degree of each sign culminates in the South at the upper meridian, ( MC ), goes the full circle until it appears on the eastern horizon again next day.
This is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
In northern latitudes the signs Cancer to Sagittarius are termed signs of long ascension, because they take a long time to ascend. The signs Capricorns to Gemini are termed signs of short ascension, because they take less time to ascend. The opposite occurs in southern latitudes.
Thus, when a sign of long ascension is on the Ascendant the number of degrees between it and the MC will account for the latter appearing in the 8th or 9th House. Whereas fewer degrees will separate the Ascendant and MC when a sign of short ascension is rising, and the MC will appear in either the 10th or 11th House.
Next to the equator there is not this variance between the signs."
This shows how Astrology is a complex Technology, and that there is no simple Question, and no simple Answer in Astrology.
Anyway, in the somehow "incorrect" Equal House system, as we have seen above, the MC of a Leo rising is in Taurus.
And in the Placidean and or Koch House systems, the MC of a Leo rising would be most probably in either Pisces, Aries, Taurus, or Gemini.
For Scorpio rising, in the Equal House system, the MC is in Leo.
And in the other House systems, it would most probably be either in Gemini, Cancer, Leo, or Virgo.
Next, I guess that you had in mind the signs Leo and Scorpio, when you asked how they relate and are tied to each others.
This is an interesting question.
As they are in a square position to each other. It means that the distance between the two signs is 90 degrees.
It makes the interaction not a boring one !
In this case Leo feels a bit more vulnerable than Scorpio.
Leo means light and splendour.
Scorpio means death and the underworld.
Next, take a closer look at the Ancient Egyptians History, to have a good clue of what is going on here.
The Pharaohs represented RA on Earth. They were Sun Kings. Emulating the role of the Sun as such, their survival or "resurrection" or triumph over death meant life and salvation for all the people as well.
But death has a deep and inexorable power.
All the Pharaohs died after all.
The idea of triumphing over death is a naive one. And very Leo.

Im an Aries and I wanted to name a star after me in this constellation. What site is best to see a picture...?
....a picture of this constellation and how can I pinpoint it when I am actually outside looking up.
I live in southeast georgia.
Thank you.Im an Aries and I wanted to name a star after me in this constellation. What site is best to see a picture...?Firefly -
I am afraid that you may have been misled. The outfits that are out there convincing people to "name a star after someone" have no authority to do so - or at least no more authority than you do yourself. So if you pick a star in Aries and call it Firefly it will be every bit as meaningful as if some company sells it to you for $60 or whatever the going rate is. In fact, your version will be much more meaningful because:
1. You will have picked it out yourself.
2. You will actually be able to see the star.
3. The star will have another name, but that will be true of any star that you can see. So there is no difference in that regard.
My experience with these guys is that they will send you some official looking document that is not official with anyone but them. If you are lucky, they will provide a chart or some vague directions on how to find the star that they have picked for you. If you actually look for one of these stars using anything but a professional grade instrument, you will find that it is either 13th magnitude and too dim to see in a field of other stuff that is too dim to see, or else it is located smack dab in the middle of a globular cluster, along with a half million other stars. I can guarantee that you will not be able to see it by yourself. Sorry.
Like I said, you are better off naming your own star by yourself. That way, you can start to learn a little more about astronomy, which is - in the long run - much more rewarding than astrology.Im an Aries and I wanted to name a star after me in this constellation. What site is best to see a picture...?Please understand that you're not really naming a star. The only organization that can legally name stars is the International Astronomical Union, and they don't name them after people. All the companies claiming to name stars are just doing it for entertainment value; the star isn't actually named that anywhere but in their own database. They are all selling the same stars, and they've all sold all the bright ones - you wouldn't even be able to see the star you paid for without a professional telescope.
Also, you're almost certainly NOT an Aries. That is supposed to refer to the constellation the Sun was in the day you were born, but all the dates used for horoscopes are off by about a month. That's ok because horoscopes and astrology are completely meaningless. Just like buying a star - both are a complete waste of money.
Finally, Aries is really hard to spot - it's not a bright constellation. If you can find Orion (it's up in the winter), Taurus is to the right of Orion, and Aries is to the right or Taurus.

What do modern astronomers use to identify stars in a constellation?
I mostly use their position. But if i'm trying to spot Castor, and the star i get in my scope isn't a double, i get my head out of the scope and try to reorient from scratch.
I'm pretty sure one of us has figured out what your question is.What do modern astronomers use to identify stars in a constellation?Not sure what you mean by "what do astronomers use to identify stars in a constellation".
There are 88 official constellations, and all the stars within the boundaries of a constellation are considered part of that constellation.
Identification of stars within a given constellation includes use of Bayer designations (e.g., Alpha Centauri), Flamsteed designations (e.g., 61 Cygni) and variable star designations (e.g., RR Lyrae).
Many fainter stars will just be given a catalog number designation (in each of various star catalogs) that does not incorporate the constellation name. Sometimes the abbreviated form of the constellation name is used in the star designation (e.g., Alpha Cen, 61 Cyg, RR Lyr).

Is it worth paying 4400 Euros (拢3200, $6000) to get Wil Tirion to do 88 constellation star charts?
It all depends on why you want them. Only you know that, and only you can decide.
I think Sky Atlas 2000.0 is a far better buy. :-)
Addendum: If you have that much money to spend on a web site, I'd like to know what line of work you're in! You might have a look at how they did the charts for the constellations in Wikipedia: pp3 does nice charts, and is endlessly customizable.
Most people who want highly detailed star charts already have computer programs to generate them, or have references like Uranometria or MSA.Is it worth paying 4400 Euros (拢3200, $6000) to get Wil Tirion to do 88 constellation star charts?Who made the offer? I really don't think it would be necessary. All the data from his previous maps is available and can be re-charted by each constellation, without having to make new charts. That is, unless you want the charts to show more detail.
I would imagine anyone could do it as long as they took care of the copyright requirements. If someone wants to publish this set and sell it, then I would guess Wil would be due some compensation. $6000 certainly doesn't seem excessive even if he didn't have to do anything but sign on the dotted line.

In which season can we see the Big Dipper constellation?
Summer, winter, fall or spring?In which season can we see the Big Dipper constellation?Big Dipper is a summer constellation. It is still up there in the winter but it is during the day so we cannot see it.
In the winter the most recognizable constellation is Orion.
This is for the northern hemisphere by the way.In which season can we see the Big Dipper constellation?
If you're in the northern hemisphere, it is a circumpolar constellation, so is visible all year. If you're in the southern hemisphere, it's a late autumn-early winter constellation, assuming you're far enough north to see it at all.In which season can we see the Big Dipper constellation?Assuming you are in teh northern hemisphere the Big Dipper never sets so that it is visible year around.
During the evening around 9pm the big dipper is highest in the sky and therefore easiest to see in the spring.In which season can we see the Big Dipper constellation?
all year if you live north of about 40 degrees north.
the big dipper is not a constellation, btw. it is an asterism in ursa major, which *is* a constellation.In which season can we see the Big Dipper constellation?Every season! Yayyyyy!

What do we use the Pisces constellation for, why is it important? need to know ASAP!?
could it be used for preedicting seasons, or for navigation?What do we use the Pisces constellation for, why is it important? need to know ASAP!?The 'Vernal Equinox' point lies in the constellation Pisces. The 'Vernal Equinox' is the crossing point of the 'Ecliptic' (Sun seems to move along this line between the stars in a year time) and the 'Equator' (cuts the daily turning star sky in half, parallel with earth's equator). It is at March 21 the Sun crosses this point, which means the start of Spring.
But this point is also used as a starting point for the 'Right Ascension', it is like a horizontal coordinate with values running from 0 to 24 hours to indicate the position of a star.
Further, this point is also used for the 'Local Siderial Time'. This is also an expression from 0 to 24 hours, showing which star sky is visible at that moment for that observer place. One says that the 'Local Siderial Time' is zero, when that 'vernal equinox point' (so Pisces) is culminating the highest (which is through South).What do we use the Pisces constellation for, why is it important? need to know ASAP!?It is one constellation of the Zodiac, the path of the sun among the stars.
Right now, the vernal equinox moves between the constellation's IAU official boundaries and the next constellation, Aquarius.
"The Vernal equinox is currently located in Pisces, due south of 蠅 Psc, and, due to precession, slowly drifting below the western fish towards Aquarius."What do we use the Pisces constellation for, why is it important? need to know ASAP!?Pisces is no more important than any other constellation, except that the ecliptic passes through it, so it often has planets and the Moon in it. Constellations are really just a convenient way of identifying stars and other objects in a particular area of the sky, and have no scientific meaning.

What Are The Main Stars Of Cetus, That Make Up The Constellation?
Please and thank you ! =)What Are The Main Stars Of Cetus, That Make Up The Constellation?The Cetus is the constellation of the northern sky.it's name refers to the sea monster in Greek mythology. it is called the whale today. Cetus is located in the region of the sky known as the Water, along with other watery constellations such as Aquarius, Pisces, and Eridanus.
This constellation's most notable star is Mira (or 蠈 Ceti), the first variable star to be discovered. Over a period of 331.65 days it can reach a maximum magnitude as high as 2.0m, one of the brightest in the sky and easily visible to the unaided eye, then drop to 10.1m and back again. Its discovery in 1596 by David Fabricius further dented the supposed unchangeability of the heavens and lent support to the Copernican revolution.
Other stars in the constellation include 伪 Ceti (Menkar); 尾 Ceti (Deneb Kaitos), brightest in the constellation; and 蟿 Ceti, the 17th closest star to Earth.
Special Stars
Alpha-Ceti or Menkar is a red giant located in the whale鈥檚 head.
Mira lies very close to the brightest star of Pisces (the "knot" holding the two fish together). Hevelius named it Mira, which means marvellous or miraculous, because it was the first star to be recognized as varying in brightness (1596). Mira is visible only for a few weeks each year. Its period is 332 days, during which time it remains usually near the 9th magnitude, too faint to see. Then it brightens to magnitude 1.7, becoming the brightest star in Cetus! Mira shines with a deep reddish tint; as a red giant (like Aldebaran in Taurus) it is massive, and would contain the orbit of Mars. Declination: -3 degrees south.
UV Ceti, which is actually a pair of very dim red dwarf stars (A and B), lies only 8.4 LY away--the fifth closest star system. UV Ceti B is a flare star, and varies from 13th magnitude (not visible to the naked eye) to the 6th magnitude, 250 times brighter (in 1952 this flare-up occurred in only 21 seconds). Why some red dwarfs flare in this way is not known.
Tau-Ceti is the 20th closest star, and the closest solar-type star, which makes it a favorite candidate in the search for extra-terrestrial life. Very few naked-eye stars are dimmer than the Sun, but the luminosity of Tau-Ceti is 0.45 (Sun = 1). Magnitude 3.5. Distance: 11.8 LY. you can find more on http://hsci.cas.ou.edu/exhibits/exhibit.鈥?/a> it has has images and more to look at.What Are The Main Stars Of Cetus, That Make Up The Constellation?You told the other girl to google it, and then turn around and ask this?What Are The Main Stars Of Cetus, That Make Up The Constellation?umm

There are 13 zodiac constellations. How come Ophiuchus, the 13th constellation, isn't an astrological sign?
Modern constellation boundaries were established around 1930, putting part of the ecliptic in Ophiuchus. The astrologers don't care, because the concept of the astrological zodiac is to divide the ecliptic into twelve equal segments. These signs are named after the constellations they aligned with in the time of Ptolemy, who invented "modern" astrology about 1850 years ago, but really have nothing to do with the constellations. Since Ptolemy, precession of the equinoxes has shifted the alignment by about 25 degrees.There are 13 zodiac constellations. How come Ophiuchus, the 13th constellation, isn't an astrological sign?Because astrology is inaccurate and has absolutely no basis in scientific fact.
Astrologers also don't take into account the precession of the equinoxes - the sun has moved one constellation west since the signs were set up 2000 years ago.
I was born in June, right in the middle of the Gemini date range. But when I was born the sun was actually in Cancer.
That's just a few of the more obvious examples of inaccuracies and errors.There are 13 zodiac constellations. How come Ophiuchus, the 13th constellation, isn't an astrological sign?
faesson: as far as I know the sun stays within the usual 13 zodiacal constellations.
However, there are 21 constellations in which some of the planets can enter. With the moon, able to enter Auriga, this makes 22 zodiacal constellations. Jean Meuus lists them in one of his books.
And that's not counting Pluto that can enter 4 additional constellations.There are 13 zodiac constellations. How come Ophiuchus, the 13th constellation, isn't an astrological sign?Tradition I guess. The astrological houses are not really the same as the zodiac constellations anyway. They are just named after them.There are 13 zodiac constellations.

It is true that the Sun passes thru Ophiuchus, but isnt it also true that the Sun clips the corner of several Non-Zodiacal constellations?
As astrology is much less important than (and even less significant than) the color of goose crap, what difference does it make?

Is it true on dec 21, 2012, the sun will literally be closer to the Aquarius constellation than to Pisces?
so the so called Age of Pisces will have completely ended on that date.Is it true on dec 21, 2012, the sun will literally be closer to the Aquarius constellation than to Pisces?Even within the pseudoscience of astrology you've still got your ideas mixed up. The "age" is determined by the position of the sun during the vernal equinox, March 21st, not December. This means that the age of Aquarius will begin in 2600.Is it true on dec 21, 2012, the sun will literally be closer to the Aquarius constellation than to Pisces?On December 21 EVERY year the Sun is in Sagittarius, nowhere near Aquarius or Pisces, which just goes to show how wildly inaccurate astrology is!
You're asking this in the wrong category. You'll find "Horoscopes" under "Entertainment," while "Astronomy %26amp; Space" is under "Science %26amp; Mathematics." Yahoo!Answers knows that astrology is not a science.
Astronomers are not fortune tellers. We predict real events in the real universe, not the imaginary effects of the planets on the inhabitants of a small planet in orbit around a yellow dwarf star.
Let me give you a bit of heart-felt advice. Please don't base important decisions in your life on astrology.

If M97 is in Ursa Major, then it's *only* visible in Ursa Major. That's what being in a constellation means.

How many light years away is the constellation cancer?
i've tried to google this.
if you know a good website will you give me the link please?
but if you know the answer that is good too (:
10 points for best answerHow many light years away is the constellation cancer?It's a group of stars which are distant from each other and just appear to make a pattern from here. Tegmine, the brightest "star", is a binary 78 light years away, and Beta and Iota Cancris, Asellus Borealis and Australis and Acubens are all roughly 200 light years away, so although there isn't a definite answer there is, unusually for a constellation, an approximate one.How many light years away is the constellation cancer?
Constellations are just imaginary connections between the points of light made by the stars. That is, the stars of a constellation are at widely varying distances from the human observer. Each star will have a different distance.How many light years away is the constellation cancer?cancer, like all constellations, has no physical manifestation. it is just a pattern of stars as seen from earth. the stars are all at different distances.How many light years away is the constellation cancer?
I agree with the other posts - there is no exact answer because a constellation is a random collection of stars.
However, it is interesting that EVERY star we see is withing the Milky way galaxy, our galaxy. That means that evey star in Cancer is within 100,000 light years - the width of the galaxy.
But you can do even better. The stars we see are actually within the small region of the galaxy that is close to our sun. So every star we see with the naked eye is probably within 500 light years.
If you look up the distance to the major stars in Cancer, you can pin it down to a specific range.How many light years away is the constellation cancer?"Constellation" is a human invention. It's just an arbitrary group of stars that vaguely resembles some mythical person or creature. In reality, most of the stars in a given constellation have little or no connection to each other and their spatial distances can vary by *thousands* of light years. Sorry, but there's no real answer to your question.

Which website will give scientifically correct location of a planet in a particular constellation?
Hi ,i believe google earth now has google sky too,which basically you can look at all the planets and stars and theres measurements and everything ,its really informative and very interesting,you have to download google earth first ,they want you to buy this product but you get a free trial so fill out the application and get all the info you need ,then when you're free trial runs out just,deinstall it from you're computer ,believe me you will be amazed by it all.Which website will give scientifically correct location of a planet in a particular constellation?whatever the astronomy magazine website is-%26gt;there's this thing called the star dome or sumthin %26amp; it says your sky tonightWhich website will give scientifically correct location of a planet in a particular constellation?noneWhich website will give scientifically correct location of a planet in a particular constellation?JPL.govWhich website will give scientifically correct location of a planet in a particular constellation?

The Constellation Pisces has an English name Fish. What is the English Name for Constellation Libra?
Libra is latin for weighing scales ;)The Constellation Pisces has an English name Fish. What is the English Name for Constellation Libra?Originally, the area of sky we know as Libra was occupied by the claws of the Scorpion, Scorpius. The Greeks called this area Chelae, literally meaning 鈥榗laws鈥? an identification that lives on in the names of the individual stars of Libra (see below). As things have worked out, Libra is now a slightly larger constellation than Scorpius, but is much less conspicuous.
The identification of this area with a balance became established in the first century BC among the Romans, although exactly when it was introduced and by whom has been lost in the mists of history. To the Romans, Libra was a favoured constellation. The Moon was said to have been in Libra when Rome was founded. 鈥業taly belongs to the Balance, her rightful sign. Beneath it Rome and her sovereignty of the world were founded鈥? said the Roman writer Manilius. He described Libra as 鈥榯he sign in which the seasons are balanced, and the hours of night and day match each other鈥? This is a hint that the Romans visualized the constellation as a balance because the Sun lay there at the autumn equinox, when day and night are equal. But the idea of a balance in this area did not originate with the Romans. According to historian Gwyneth Heuter the Sumerians knew this area as ZIB-BA AN-NA, the balance of heaven, 2000 years BC. Hence it seems that the Romans revived a constellation that existed before Greek times.
Libra is the only constellation of the zodiac to represent an inanimate object; the other 11 zodiacal constellations represent animals or mythological characters. Once the identification of Libra with a pair of scales became established it was natural to divorce it entirely from Scorpius and to associate it instead with the other flanking zodiacal figure, Virgo, who was identified with Dike or Astraeia, goddess of justice. Libra thus became the scales of justice held aloft by the goddess.
Libra鈥檚 brightest star, second-magnitude Alpha Librae, is called Zubenelgenubi from the Arabic meaning 鈥榯he southern claw鈥? a reminder of the Greek identification of this constellation with the claws of the scorpion. Beta Librae is Zubeneschamali, 鈥榯he northern claw鈥?The Constellation Pisces has an English name Fish.

Which circumpolar constellation is hardest to see in the sky?
Which constellations are circumpolar depend on your lattitude. For people in the northern hemisphere, the hardest to see would probably be Camelopardalis. It is north of Perseus and lies between Cassiopeia and Ursa Major. It's brightest star is magnitude 4.2 which makes it a rather dim constellation.
From what Month to what Month are these constellation visible?
when can you see these constellations (month wise) from Oxford, UK, Earth
Lyra
Cygnus
Hercules
thank youFrom what Month to what Month are these constellation visible?You can see all those constellations throughout the year since at your latitude, they are practically circumpolar. You just have to figure out what time of the night is best for you to view them.From what Month to what Month are these constellation visible?First you should understand that all these constellations are initially visible in the east in the early morning before dawn. Each month these constellations rise (and set) 2 hours earlier than the previous month. So a constellation like Lyra will be first visible in the east before dawn in February or March and will be last visible in the west after sunset in November.
Since you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the further north in declination the constellations are, the longer they are visible throughout the year. Far north constellations like Ursa Major and Cassiopeia are always above the horizon at your latitude on any clear night.

Cygnus and lyra are high in the sky at midnight. Their bright stars are easy to spot.

Anybody Know How Many Stars The Constellation "Triangulum" has, and their Names?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stars_in_Triangulum
Anybody Know How Many Stars The Constellation "Triangulum" has, and their Names?
Since there is a large galaxy located in Triangulum, there are at least 40 billion stars in that constellation.
Probably you want to know the _named_ stars in Triangulum, in which case the best place to start is the Wikipedia article on Triangulum. You can also make a good guess of the number of stars from the NAME of the constellation.Anybody Know How Many Stars The Constellation "Triangulum" has, and their Names?There are some pretty good catalogs out there, but all of them are limited. Usually the compilers use a "limiting magnitude" where they only include stars brighter than that value, but there are more stars out there "beyond" the limiting magnitude.
Almost always you can count the stars, and a while later newer technology lets someone else count more stars in the same constellation. Consider the Hubble Deep Field and Ultra Deep Field pictures. And, do you want to count the stars that are in galaxies and clusters within the constellation? Still more stars, and we can't even do this well with our current "toys".
All three of the brightest stars in this constellation are double stars, and there is a galaxy (M33) that can be seen by the naked eye on dark nights in dark places. Binoculars can help with that, but you don't want or need a lot of magnification, just the light gathering. In addition, there are lots more dim stars. Rather than quoting something or copying it, look at the link below:Anybody Know How Many Stars The Constellation "Triangulum" has, and their Names?Here is the list of 19 stars visible to naked eye (till magn.6):

How to explain to little kids about constellation?
how would i explain to younger kids about 10-12, that constellations or the the stars in the potpan, arnt close to each other but are far away, but look as if they are in line??How to explain to little kids about constellation?Try standing the kids at one end of the garden, and get two balls - one big and one small - at the other end. Put the small ball closer to them and the big ball far from them, and make sure that, from where the kids are, they line up. Then get the kids to crouch down and see how big each one looks. They're about similar, right? Wrong. Now imagine each ball is a star, and one's way bigger than the other, while they're both at different distances from Earth. That should explain it to them.
There are probably other ways too. I mean, I would have expected that a 10-12 year old would understand even just a verbal explanation...? The ball metaphor's probably better for younger kids.How to explain to little kids about constellation?
Elizabeth H has pointed to an article of mine about relative positions in the solar system, but you're asking something quite different. One way might be to several balls of different sizes, such as a ball bearing, a golf ball, and a beach ball, and give each to a kid. Then have a fourth kid look with one eye at the other three through a small hole in a piece of cardboard, and adjus the distances until all three balls look the same size through the hole. This actually shows three different sizes rather than three different magnitudes, but the idea is the same.How to explain to little kids about constellation?Do you mean the Big Dipper?

Im writing an essay on a constellation (Columba)
I have to start out by naming what constellation is my favorite. I picked Columba, soo how should i start this?? what should i say? I want it to sound really REALLY good. ive tried multiple things i just want an opinion
Thank you sooooo much :) %26lt;3 loveConstellation essay what should be my headline?You might have to start out explaining what constellations are and what purpose they serve.
You might want to start your essay with a question about the night sky itself.
Have you ever looked up in the night sky and wondered about all the stars and the patterns they seem to create?
Or you could start with: There are 88 different stories that the stars at night can tell (and from there you could go on to explain what a constellation is etc.

Have you ever looked up in the night sky and wondered about all the stars and the patterns they seem to create?
Or you could start with: There are 88 different stories that the stars at night can tell (and from there you could go on to explain what a constellation is etc.
What stars make up the constellation Cygnus?
School project need helpWhat stars make up the constellation Cygnus?Cygnus contains several bright stars.
Deneb, 伪 Cygni, is an extremely brilliant star, very prominent despite its distance (3230 light years). The blue supergiant forms the swan's tail, the upper end of the Northern Cross, and one of the vertices of the Summer Triangle asterism.Its also the 18th britest star in the sky.
Albireo, 尾 Cygni, is at the swan's beak. It is one of the most beautiful double stars of the sky, a golden star easily distinguishable in a small telescope from its blue companion.The name Albireo also can mean (The Beak Of The Hen)
Another interesting star is 61 Cygni. In 1838, this star had the highest known proper motion of any star in the sky; this was taken as evidence that it was relatively nearby and it was accordingly chosen as the first star (other than the Sun) to have its distance measured. It is 11.4 light years away, one of the closest stars to our solar system.
The star 16 Cygni B is an extrasolar planetary system with one confirmed planet 1.5 times the mass of Jupiter.
The star HD 188753 A in Cygnus has an extrasolar planet called HD 188753 Ab which was the first planet discovered in a 3-sun (triple star) system.
Cygnus also contains the X-ray source Cygnus X-1, which is considered to be one of the most likely black hole candidates.
In addition, Cygnus has a variety of variable stars, including XX Cyg and V508 Cyg.What stars make up the constellation Cygnus?

Do you know anyone who served on the old sailing ship Constellation?
just wondering, my father served aboard her when she was in Newport Rhode Island during world war 11, she was temporary flagship of the fleet.
Now a museum in Batltimore Inner HarborDo you know anyone who served on the old sailing ship Constellation?You may want to contact Christopher Rowsom, Executive Director at 410-539-1797 ext. 402 or by e-mail rowsom@constellation.org , he may be able to provide some of the crew members that served during that time period or point you to where you may find them.
A grand ship indeed and carries a lot of history and pride.Do you know anyone who served on the old sailing ship Constellation?On May 21, 1941, Constellation was designated "relief flagship" of Admiral Ernest J. King, Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. With King's appointment as Chief of Naval Operations at the beginning of America's involvement in World War II, Constellation continued in this capacity under Vice Admiral Royal Ingersoll, and alternately, as relief flagship of Battleship Division Five.
Vice Admiral Royal E. Ingersoll
in the cabin of his flagship, circa 1942
"Personally, I have never had a more enjoyable time on any ship."
Admiral Royal Ingersoll - in the Baltimore Sun, February 28, 1943.
Because the Atlantic Fleet was a large force conducting operations over thousands of miles, Admiral Ingersoll was frequently away directing operations from far-flung naval bases. Use of Constellation for the Admiral's living quarters and for coordinating the fleet's vast communications network allowed the designated flagship, the cruiser Augusta, not to be burdened with such tasks while being actively engaged.
Constellation's World War II skipper was Lieutenant Commander John Davis. A retired officer recalled to active duty, Davis had been awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism during the Spanish - American War.
Ingersoll's WWII Atlantic Fleet Senior Staff
Following World War II Constellation left her berth in Newport for the last time, and was towed to the Boston Navy Yard to be placed in "ordinary" (the equivalent of a steel ship being put in "mothballs'). In 1954 Constellation, thought by many to be the namesake frigate, was moved to Baltimore in a "floating dry-dock" for restoration and preservation as an historic shrine by a private, non-profit patriotic organization.portuguese translator textfree pinger
