The history of constellations Find out some history about the constellations seen in the night skies! Did you know there are eighty-eight constellations that can be found in the night skies? To the average person, a constellation is merely a group of illuminated stars which form a picture of sorts. But to the astronomer, a constellation points to a specific area in the night skies! Constellations can be found in several different areas of the night skyies. The average observer can find them by simply looking for a cluster of stars, especially the brightly illuminated stars, and try to find a pattern or picture to them. You can also check out several books from your local library about the constellations and what stars make up the varied patterns. Some books actually include charts which you can take outside with you to help find the specific constellations that you are looking for. bodyOffer(25811) At one time, the constellations consisted of curved lines. These lines outlined the pictures that the constellations represented. But, inthe year of 1928, astronomers changed to straight lines so that each constellation consisted of lines that ran from north to south or east to west. The twelve zodiacal constellations are probably the most commonly known among the eighty-eight star patterns. They can be seen from both the northern and the southern hemispheres. The twelve constellations are Cancer, Aquarius, Gemini, Sagittarius, Taurus, Virgo, Pisces, Libra, Leo, Capricorn, Aries, and Scorpio.

Whydon t most constellations change in appearance over years? http://aps.colorado.edu/~prestonh/astr1120/quizzes/astr1120_qz1prep_answers.html

ASTR 1120-001 Quiz #1Prep Questions (Preston) This first quiz will be entirely multiple choice questions, and only 20 of them. As with all multi-choice questions, you will need to evaluate which answers are possible and DO THE EASIEST ONES FIRST. That way you don’t wind up losing points on questions you could have answered because you were working on a long calculation instead. This does have one drawback, and that is that you can forget to go back to questions you skipped. Therefore, rule #2: CHECK YOUR ANSWER SHEET TO MAKE SURE ALL 20 QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. Sometimes if you can only eliminate one or two wrong answers to a question, that improves your chances when guessing which of the other three answers is correct! Worth a try. Lastly, if you do not understand something because of the way the question is phrased, RAISE YOUR HAND. 1. Stellar Parallax what it is, what it depends on. So far, we discussed this in the planetarium on Tuesday, and a little bit on Thursday, although it was in your Chapter 2 reading assignment (p.62 and look at the figure!).

Galaxies, Stars, and Planets, Oh My! An Internet WebQuest on Science created by Jordane Kittoe Introduction The Task Conclusion HyperText Dictionary Introduction Students should be able to get a good understanding of the basic concepts of space that will be discussed including: planets, constellations, the sun, the moon, and the Milky Way Galaxy. Our solar system is part of the Milky Way Galaxy and our solar system has nine planets. The sun, the largest object and the central object of our solar system, is a star. Stars are surrounding us in space and some are even arranged in a way that they look like pictures or different characters called constellations. While we know much about our solar system, there is much that is still a mystery. Make a list of 10 things that you want to 'discover' about our solar system while following this webquest! The Quest Why is it important for us to know about our solar system? Why does the solar system interest you? The Process and Resources In this WebQuest you will be working together with a group of students in class. Each group will answer the Task or Quest(ion). As a member of the group you will explore Webpages from people all over the world who care about Science. Because these are real Webpages we're tapping into, not things made just for schools, the reading level might challenge you. Feel free to use the online Webster dictionary or one in your classroom. You'll begin with everyone in your group getting some background before dividing into roles where people on your team become experts on one part of the topic.

Earth Science 11 - Astronomical Science (Stars and Galaxies) This sub-organizer contains the following sections: Prescribed Learning Outcomes Suggested Instructional Strategies Suggested Assessment Strategies Recommended Learning Resources PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: classify stars using a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram describe the life cycles of stars describe the historical role of constellations in mythology and navigation describe the characteristics of components of the universe, including galaxies and quasars choose and critique a theory that explains the origin of the universe SUGGESTED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES Few activities capture the imagination of students as does exploring the wonders of space. In this section, students will develop an appreciation for the nature and life cycles of stars. As an introductory activity, lead a class discussion on what students know about the organization of the universe. Using this knowledge, each student draws a diagram showing all the components of the universe in relation to one another. After viewing a short film about the nature of the universe, students revise their drawings. Students research and produce a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, then identify and classify stars using the diagram.

Home Tools Schema Browser Projects ... Your Constellations Constellations in SkyServer Most of the stars and galaxies in SkyServer have never been studied by anyone. So they give you the perfect chance to find your own constellations! Like the ancient Greeks or Japanese, you can find new patterns of stars that make new constellations. Your teacher will give you a sheet of graph paper. Draw a very simple shape on the paper. Draw whatever you like - maybe an animal, a person, or an everyday object like a pencil. Think about how to make your drawing out of stars, like the Greeks made Orion. Draw about 6-10 stars on your graph paper, to form an outline of your constellation. Now, go to SkyServer's Navigation Tool . You'll see a screen like this: The boxes "ra" and "dec" in the top left of the tool give the location in the sky. They are coordinates, like x and y in math or longitude and latitude in geography. "Get Image" loads a new image. You can zoom in or out in the image with the zoom bar below Get Image. Click the plus sign to zoom in or the minus sign to zoom out. You can also move around in the sky by clicking the NWSE buttons around the image. Pick some area of the sky, then look for your constellation! Find stars or galaxies that match the outline you made on graph paper. They don't have to match exactly. It might help to zoom out, so you can see a larger area of sky at once.

Fornax, Horologium, Caelum, and Reticulum, 4 constellations for December Contributed by Paul Rodmell, Southland Astronomical Society FORNAX, pronounced FOR-naks, HOROLOGIUM, pronounced HOR-uh-LOW-jee-em, CAELUM, pronounced SEE-lum, RETICULUM, pronounced reh-TICK-yah-lum. Chart showing the 4 constellations. These are modern constellations, originating in 1752, by the Frenchman Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, the first person to map the southern skies comprehensively, and none is easily identified, or obvious. Fornax , the Furnace, was originally Fornax Chemica, the chemical furnace; Horologium represents the Clock; Caelum , the Chisel, represents the engraving tool or burin used by craftsmen in metal or ivory; Reticulum , the net was originally Reticulum Rhomboidalis, the system of lines in a eyepiece reticle. Fornax contains the Fornax cluster of galaxies at a distance of around 55 million light years. In addition it also contains the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy, a cloud of very faint, scattered stars about 420,000 light years away, which is a satellite of the Milky Way Galaxy. This was discovered photographically and is notoriously difficult to see visually. One of the two globular clusters in Horologium, AM1, is the most distant in the Milky Way galaxy at 390,000 light years away. At 15th magnitude, it is too faint for normal amateur telescopes.
