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!

How the stars in the Southern Cross are connected to form the constellation?
%26lt;QUOTE%26gt;how the stars in the Southern Cross are connected to form the constellation?%26lt;/QUOTE%26gt;
Our minds are always looking for patterns, IMAGINARY lines and so on.
Go outside and look at the stars visible from where you live. Then look at the charts for that position in the sky. SEE FOR YOURSELF whether there are any lines in the sky connecting the stars.How the stars in the Southern Cross are connected to form the constellation?The only way stars in any constellation are "connected" is in the brains of humans looking at them. In reality they are spread over vastly different distances in space. The only thing they share is that they are in roughly the same direction as seen from Earth.How the stars in the Southern Cross are connected to form the constellation?

As u move around them, u realize they are not connected at all and some are way farther than others.

they are bright in that region but if the coal stack interstellar cloud was not blocking out two other bright ones it would not look like a cross at allHow the stars in the Southern Cross are connected to form the constellation?They aren't.

Star constellation named Quintana?Is there a constellation naamed after a Dr. Quintana circa 1880"s?No.
There are 88 recognized constellations and that is not one of them.
Maybe some town did it, but it wouldn't be officially recognized in the formal astronomical profession.

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?
A planet within the constellation?
Apparently conspiracy theorists say that there is and Google sky blocks out images from that constellation because there is known life there!!!Do you believe there are "Aliens" in the Sirius constellation?conspiracy theories are a handy vehicle for stupid people to appear intelligent.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.
Also, there are some links about the aliens in the wikipedia:

There are hundreds of other explanations for this phenomenon. I don't believe it and it isn't true. Don't let conspiracy get to you.

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.
