Orion, the most striking star in the winter sky, is high in the southeast. Orion is a constellation with the brightest stars. There are three bright stars in the middle, such as Hunter Belt. Below Samsung, there are Horsehead Nebula and Orion Nebula. We can see the Orion nebula with the naked eye.

Taurus constellation

Taurus is northwest of Orion. The Pleiades cluster on its back is an excellent open cluster, commonly known as Seven Sisters. In addition, Taurus also has the famous Crab Nebula.

The story of Orion

Themis, the goddess of the moon, fell in love with Orrin, Poseidon's son. They often went out hunting together. Thanks to the careful design of Apollo, Artemis' brother, O 'Ryan finally died under Artemis' arrow. Themis was in great pain and asked Zeus to lift Olin to the sky, making him the most dazzling Orion in the sky.

The story of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor.

In Greek mythology, Zeus was described as a god who showed mercy everywhere.

When Zeus' wife Sheila learned about the affair between Zeus and Harriet, she was furious and turned her into a big bear after her son was born. Scarlett, who became a bear, wandered alone in the forest for more than ten years. One day, under Sheila's special arrangement, she met her son. At that time, he had become a teenager, but the teenager didn't know that the bear in front of him was his biological mother, and he wanted to shoot the bear. Zeus was shocked when he saw this, and immediately set off a tornado on the ground to rescue Scarlett Bear and lift her to the sky to become the "constellation Ursa Major". Later, his son was also lifted to the sky and became a "bear".

Sheila was angry that her rival in love had won such an honor. Persuade Poseidon to forbid Ursa Major and Ursa Minor from landing in the sea. Therefore, in the constellation, they can never land below the ground level.

What are the main constellations in the night sky in spring? Hello, it's the Big Dipper in Ursa Major.

Starry sky in spring night

The Big Dipper, which hangs high in the northern night sky, is the most familiar star. To understand the constellation of spring, let's start with it. The Big Dipper is a part of Ursa major, which is composed of five bright second-class stars and two third-class stars. It is shaped like a spoon, just like an ancient wine vessel, hence its name. As for the Big Dipper, it is also different from the six stars in Nandou. The six stars in Nandou are also arranged in a bucket shape on Sagittarius, hanging low in the summer night sky.

Pppp The Big Dipper is equivalent to the waist and tail of Ursa Major. Four of them make up the bucket spoon, and the other three make up the bucket handle, as shown in Figure 39. At dusk in spring, the dipper of the Big Dipper points to the east.

Connect a straight line between Tian Xuan and Shu Tian at the front of the Big Dipper, and then extend the distance by five times. You will meet a bright second-class star, which is the North Star. This is the easiest way to find Polaris. Therefore, Tian Xuan and Shu Tian are also called "Polaris". Because the Big Dipper has been running around the North Star, and its height and position will change from time to time, you should practice finding the North Star quickly through the Big Dipper at any time.

The bucket handle part of the Big Dipper is slightly curved. If you stretch out along the arc of the three stars on the barrel handle, you will meet an orange-red bright star, which belongs to Capricorn and its Chinese name is plantain. Capricorn is a big constellation, but it is difficult to identify because of its scattered structure. However, it is not difficult to find it through the Big Dipper.

If you continue along this arc, you will meet another star with blue and white brilliance near the ecliptic. The Chinese name of this star is Kakuqi, and its bright and clear brilliance has made people sit up and take notice since ancient times. Jiaokou is the main star of Virgo, clear but not cold, beautiful but not gorgeous, just like a dignified and delicate girl. In ancient constellation books, Virgo appeared as a goddess.

Virgo is a scattered star and can be identified in stages. Learn to recognize the corners first, and then gradually get familiar with Virgo from part to whole through frequent observation.

In the sky to the west of Arcturus, a white star of magnitude 1 is shining brightly. This is the main star of Leo, and its Chinese name is Xuanyuan XIV. Like Arcturus, it belongs to one of the nine planets for navigation. Besides Xuanyuan XIV, Leo also includes two second-class stars and four third-class stars, which is an easily recognizable constellation.

In addition to the above, there are other constellations that can be seen in the spring evening, such as Cancer, Ophiuchus and Raven. However, these constellations are not easy to identify. Among them, Ophiuchus is a long snake array, and when the snake head has risen to the south, the snake tail has not completely crossed the eastern horizon.

Following the constellation in the night sky, whether I can arrive or not, I pay attention to the rhythm and harmony of sound crazily and devoutly.

There are always many stars in the night sky. How to identify which constellation they belong to? 1. starry sky on a spring night.

The Big Dipper hanging high in the northern night sky is the most familiar star. The Big Dipper is a part of Ursa major. It consists of five bright second-class stars and two third-class stars in the shape of a spoon, just like an ancient vessel for holding wine, hence its name.

The Big Dipper is equivalent to the waist and tail of Ursa major. Four of them make up a bucket spoon, and the other three make up a bucket handle. At dusk in spring, the big dipper of the Big Dipper points to the east.

Connect a straight line between Tian Xuan and Shu Tian at the front of the Big Dipper, extend the distance by five times, and you will meet a bright second-class star, which is the North Star. This is the easiest way to find Polaris. Therefore, Tian Xuan and Shu Tian are also called "finger stars". Because the Big Dipper revolves around the North Star constantly, and its height and position change from time to time, you should practice finding the North Star quickly through the Big Dipper at any time.

The bucket handle part of the Big Dipper is slightly curved. If you stretch out along the arc of the three stars on the bucket handle, you will meet an orange-red bright star, which belongs to Capricorn and is named plantain in Chinese. Capricorn is a big constellation, but it is difficult to identify because of its scattered structure. However, it is not difficult to find it through the Big Dipper.

Continuing along this arc, I met another blue and white star near the ecliptic. The Chinese name of this star is Jiaokou, and its bright and clear brilliance has been impressive since ancient times. Jiaokou is the main star of Virgo, clear but not cold, beautiful but not gorgeous, just like a dignified and delicate girl. In ancient constellation books, Virgo appeared as a goddess.

In the sky to the west of Arcturus II, a white star like 1 is shining brightly. This is the main star of Leo, and its Chinese name is Xuanyuan XIV. Like Kakudji, it belongs to one of the nine navigation planets. Besides Xuanyuan XIV, Leo also includes two second-class stars and four third-class stars, which is an easily recognizable constellation.

In addition to the above, the constellations you can see in the Spring Festival Evening include Cancer, Ophiuchus and Raven. But these constellations are not easy to identify. Among them, Ophiuchus is regarded as a long snake arrangement. When the snakehead rises due south, the snakehead has not completely crossed the eastern horizon.

2. Starry sky in summer night

It is best to learn to recognize the summer constellation from Scorpio, which shines near the southern horizon. Scorpio is a powerful constellation, consisting of 1 burning 1 equal star, 3 second-class stars and 10 third-class stars. It is the most magnificent constellation on the ecliptic.

Scorpio is the most famous of all the constellations. A long string of stars on the lower left constitutes a curly scorpion tail, and on the upper right is a scorpion head composed of several stars, with two poisonous needles on the side of the head. Except for a round waist and a face that looks like a scorpion with claws, it won't make people have a second imagination. I am in the heart of the scorpion with the ancient antares (also known as fire). At night, when you see the bright Scorpio in the southern night sky, it will tell you that the long summer has arrived.

In the summer night sky, the exceptionally bright Milky Way is particularly eye-catching, but the brightest part of the Milky Way is still Scorpio and Sagittarius in the east.

Sagittarius doesn't have such a bright star as 1, but it has two second-class stars and eight third-class stars. Although their arrangement is relatively compact and difficult for beginners to find, Sagittarius is a famous constellation in astronomy.

The six stars from the right side of Sagittarius to the upper end of the bow are arranged in a spoon shape, which is called Nandou Six Stars. Although the six stars in Nandou are not as famous and brilliant as the Big Dipper, they still have the beautiful shape of the seven tails of the Big Dipper.

The Milky Way extends from the east side of Scorpio to the north, across the sky, with a momentum of pounds. On the way to the extension, just in the middle of the eastern horizon, two stars as crystal white as 1 face each other across the milky way. Among them, the bright star on the east bank of the Milky Way is the Altair of Aquila, which is the cowherd in China folklore who expects to meet the Weaver Girl on the seventh day. The higher star on the west bank of the Milky Way is Vega in Lyra, which is beyond the reach of the cowherd and lovesick to the extreme.

Walking up the Milky Way from Aquila, there is a white star of 1 near our heads. This bright star is called Tianjin IV, with bright eyes and white teeth, and it is gorgeous in Cygnus. If you look carefully, Cygnus looks like a big cross, Tianjin IV is at the top of the cross, and the foot of the cross faces the eagle. This cross is called the Northern Cross, which corresponds to the Southern Cross in the southern sky. However, the Northern Cross is not as attractive and famous as the Southern Cross.

If the foot of the cross is regarded as Bai Niao's head and neck, and the crossbar of the cross is regarded as wings, Tianjin IV is the tail of a bird, gathering on the crossbar ... >>

What are the classic constellations in the summer night sky? Cygnus, one of the northern constellations, is located in the Milky Way. The brightest star in the constellation is a white 1 star "Tianjin IV". Cygnus is like a swan stretching its neck and spreading its wings on the Milky Way. The main bright stars of Cygnus are arranged in a cross, also called "Northern Cross". Cygnus has 22 brighter stars than 4. Constellation 6 1 is one of the nearest stars. Lyra, one of the northern constellations, is located on the north side of the Milky Way. Among them, Vega is a white star of magnitude 0 and the brightest star in the northern sky; It is arranged in triangles and diamonds, with some small stars beside it. Lyra has eight stars brighter than four. One of the zodiac signs, located in the southeast of the Milky Way. The Altair in the constellation is a white 1 star. Altair is arranged in a straight line with two small stars evenly distributed on both sides, commonly known as "Altair Samsung" or "Polaris". Eagle has 13 stars brighter than 4. The southernmost constellation of the zodiac in Scorpio, with a wide range and many stars, is the most striking constellation in the summer sky in the northern hemisphere. It appears in the southern sky, shaped like a scorpion, with its tail pointing southeast. Antares in the constellation is a red starlight 1 star, which was called "fire" in ancient China. Scorpio has 22 stars brighter than 4. One of the northern constellations. This is a big constellation in the starry sky on a summer night, and it is also one of several big constellations all day. Located in the south of Draco, north of Ophiuchus, between Lyra and the northern corona, followed by the northern corona ring. Although the range of Wuxian is very large, it is a pity that the stars in the constellation are not very bright, and they are all composed of 3 stars and 4 stars. 1934, a new star burst was found in the constellation Ursa, and its brightness reached 1, but now it has become a dark star. 1960 and 1963 have new star bursts, but the brightness is not as bright as 1934. Draco is a constellation that can be seen all year round in the northern night sky. It is located in the north of the northern corona. It really looks like a dragon winding between Ursa Major, Xiao Xiong Major and Ursa Major, spanning the vast sky. Gaolongtou is close to Wuxian County and consists of four stars, forming a quadrilateral. The long dragon body encircles the North Star for half a circle. The faucet consists of four stars: 2, 3, 4 and 5. A straight line leads from the two stars in the faucet bucket to the north, and you can find the North Star. It is an arched constellation, which can be seen all year round in the northern hemisphere. On May 24th every year, the center of Draco crosses the sky. Tianlong constellation is the eighth largest constellation in the whole day. The stars in the moving constellation Ursa major are all in about the same position in the Milky Way, moving in about the same direction at about the same speed, with about the same metal composition, and according to theory, they are also about the same age. These evidences prove to astronomers that they once came from the same source. Ursa minor is the constellation closest to the north celestial pole. Center position: right ascension 15: 30, declination 75. The area is about 256 square degrees. Oph in Latin (165438+1October 30 to 65438+February 17) is one of the zodiac signs, located in the south of Perseus, north of Scorpio and Sagittarius and west of the Milky Way. Ophiuchus is the only constellation connected with another constellation-Ophiuchus. At the same time, Ophiuchus is the only constellation that spans the celestial equator, the Milky Way and the ecliptic. Ophiuchus is big and wide, rectangular, and the equator of the celestial sphere passes through this rectangle diagonally. Although Ophiuchus spans a short galaxy, the center of the Milky Way is Sagittarius, not far from Ophiuchus. The Milky Way has a prominent part here, forming the widest area of the Milky Way. Ophiuchus Star Map In addition, although the ecliptic intersects Ophiuchus, Ophiuchus does not belong to the ecliptic. Every year around165438+1October 29th, the sun passes through Ophiuchus until it enters Sagittarius in February of 17. Scorpio has no solar terms on the ecliptic, and Ophiuchus has a solar term of heavy snow. Sagittarius is also a zodiac sign (Sagittarius is also called "Sagittarius" in the zodiac sign), and it can be found south from Altair of Aquila along the Milky Way on summer nights. Because the galactic center is in the direction of Sagittarius, this part of the galaxy is the widest and brightest. Ophiuchus in the summer night sky, located on the west side of the Milky Way, between Scorpio and Hercules, has a very wide area with sparse stars, which is the location of Ophiuchus and Ophiuchus. Ophiuchus has a billion huge constellations. It is adjacent to Ursa major in the north, Scorpio in the south and Ophiuchus on both sides. Ophiuchus in the west is close to the northern corona and Capricorn, and the eastern part is short near Eagle. One of Ophiuchus >>

What are the most important constellations in the night sky in spring? From north to south, you can see Ursa Major sitting in the north, Ursa Major next to it, followed by a little star in Ursa Major, a tall shepherd in the east of Ursa Major, a magnificent Leo in the west of Ursa Major, and a Virgo in the south of Ursa Major. Looking down to the south, you can find the crow and the grand duke snuggling on the snake's back, and the crow is in the south. We can see the Southern Cross greeting you stiffly, and the star Centauri to the east of the Southern Cross is chirping to appear. Only Cancer in the western sky said goodbye to everyone alone.

Let's talk about the most representative constellations in the autumn night sky in the northern hemisphere. At 8: 00 Beijing time, Orion has basically appeared in the southeast sky, because there are many bright stars in Orion, which can be used as a sign constellation for watching the sky in spring. Orion is close to the northwest. If the observation conditions are good, you can see a V-shape consisting of a bright Cebu star and three other relatively dark stars. Further northwest is the famous Pleiades cluster. A large area to the south of Taurus is the Bojiang constellation, which has no obvious bright stars and is not easy to observe. Back to Orion, there is a particularly bright star in the southwest of Orion, whose brightness exceeds that of Betelgeuse in the lower right corner of Orion. This is Sirius, and an area southwest of Sirius is Canis major. Then back to Orion, the width of Orion is about 1.5 in the northwest of Orion. You can see two brighter stars, which are basically arranged in the north-south direction, namely Gemini α and β, and the interval between them and Orion is the Gemini sector. There is a bright star in the south of Gemini, which is basically at the midpoint of the connecting line between Gemini and Sirius. There is a dark star in the north of this star, which basically constitutes the constellation canis minor. Afternoon 10. Orion passes through the zenith and looks along the extension line connecting Taurus and Gemini. There is an area where there are no bright stars. This is Cancer, including the famous M44 ghost cluster. Further along the extension line, it is Leo. This line is the ecliptic, which can connect the constellation 12, but it is almost dawn in Virgo at present. These constellations contain many deep spaces worth seeing, including the Pleiades. M 1 Crab Nebula \ Ghost Cluster \ and so on. If you have a sky observation with a diameter over 80MM, you can find endless fun even on the balcony. And in recent days, Mars will rise from the east around 9 o'clock, catching up with Orion and looking like a bright red star. Come on, I hope you have a good observation position. I'm in Beijing, and it's hard to see these.
