Tianying constellation

Tianying constellation

One of the zodiac signs. Center position: right ascension 19: 40, declination 3. The area is about 652 square degrees. Located in the south of Lyra and the north of Sagittarius, most of them are in the Milky Way. There are 87 stars in the constellation whose visual magnitude is brighter than 6, of which 13 is brighter than 4.

On the east bank of the Milky Way, far away from Vega (see the constellation introduction of Lyra), there is a bright star slightly darker than her, which is the alpha star of Aquila, that is, Altair. Look, this is the map of Aquila. The ancient Greeks imagined it as an eagle flying in the night sky, and Altair was the heart of the eagle.

The apparent magnitude of Altair is 0.77, which is the 1 1 bright star in the whole day. Its connection with the beta and gamma stars of Aquila points to Vega. In ancient China, the beta star and the gamma star were regarded as two children carried by a cowherd on a pole, and he was struggling to catch up with Vega. Unfortunately, the cruel queen mother tore off the golden hairpin on her head and welcomed the sky with one move. In an instant, a Tianhe fell from the sky, which almost separated the two lovers forever.

Legend has it that their experience touched God, and they were allowed to meet once a year on the seventh day of July. Every day, all the magpies in the world come to the edge of the Milky Way and build a magpie bridge for the couple to cross the river.

In fact, this is just people's good wishes. Altair and Vega are 0/6 light years away from us. Even without the galactic barrier, if they want to see each other, they can only dream! On the seventh day of July every year, there is a half moon floating near the Milky Way, so we can't see the Milky Way by moonlight. The ancients thought that the Milky Way disappeared at this time, and the cowherd and the weaver girl met at this time.

There is a custom in ancient Greece, that is, when hosting a banquet or entertaining guests at home, unmarried daughters must serve as waiters at the banquet and be responsible for serving tea and water for everyone. Not only ordinary people, but also famous families, princes and nobles, and even immortals in the sky.

Herb, the daughter of Zeus and Hera, is the noblest princess in the kingdom. Whenever the fairy meets, she is always the busiest one, flying around the banquet like a light spirit, smiling like a flower and whispering softly, making the banquet full of joy and relaxation.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After Hercules, the great hero, arrived in heaven, Zeus and Hera liked his handsome and brave, so they betrothed Herb to him. In this way, the immortals will never see the princess at the party again. Although it is still a crowing, everyone always feels a little deserted.

Zeus also realized this, and he wanted to find a suitable person on earth to replace his daughter as a waiter at the party. So he turned himself into a big eagle.

The eagle is soaring in the sky. Suddenly, he found a group of teenagers playing in the mountains. Zeus took a fancy to one of the clever and lively boys as soon as his eyes lit up. The child's name is Ganymetis, the little prince of this country. Zeus swooped down in front of the children.

Faced with the sudden eagle, the children ran away in fear. Only Ganymede did not move. Seeing that this beautiful eagle is brave and tall, and it doesn't look fierce, he boldly walked towards it. Walking up to him, he gently stroked the bright feathers of the goshawk, and the goshawk looked at him meekly. Ganymedes liked it more and more, and then he rode on the eagle's back. When he sat still, the eagle spread its wings and suddenly flew. The faster it flies, the higher it flies and it disappears in the blink of an eye.

When the king heard that Aiko had been lured away by an eagle, he quickly sent people to look around. A few days passed without any news. He sighed sadly, not knowing who to tell this unfortunate experience. But just as he looked up, among the stars in the night sky, he suddenly found his clever and lovely little son holding a jade bottle that Princess Heber used to pour wine for the gods.

Later, in order to commemorate the work done by Herb and Ganymede, Zeus turned the jade bottle they often used into a constellation, Aquarius. Moreover, he was very proud of his eagle, so he turned it into a constellation, namely Aquila.
