Division and naming of constellations

The division and naming of constellations originated from the observation and imagination of ancient westerners? Constellation originated in Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations. After the culture of the two river basins spread to ancient Greece, it promoted the cultural development of ancient Greece. Ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellation and compiled the ancient Greek constellation table.

After the Middle Ages, European capitalism rose and needed to expand outward, and the navigation industry was greatly developed. Ships sailing at sea need navigation at any time, and stars are the best street lamps. Among the stars, this constellation has a special shape and is the easiest to observe. Therefore, constellations have aroused widespread concern. When Magellan sailed around the world in the16th century, he not only used constellations to navigate and orient, but also studied constellations.

1922, the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union decided to divide the sky into 88 constellations, and their names basically followed the historical names. 1928, the international astronomical union officially announced the names of 88 constellations. These 88 constellations are divided into three celestial regions, 29 in the northern hemisphere, 47 in the southern hemisphere, and near the equator and ecliptic 12.

More than 2000 years ago, Greek astronomer Baccus divided the ecliptic into 12 segments to indicate the position of the sun running on the ecliptic, with the vernal equinox as 0, and every 30 degrees from the vernal equinox (that is, the zero degree of the ecliptic) as a house, and named it after the main constellations contained in each house at that time, namely Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo. Babies born when the earth moves to every bisector (constellation) will always have some similar characteristics when they grow up, including behavioral characteristics and personality characteristics. By connecting these associations (rich imagination and creativity) in series, these constellations are visualized; It also adds the color of myth and becomes an important part of culture (mainly Greek and Roman mythology).

The division and naming of constellations come from the observation and imagination of ancient westerners, right? If it is not good, it will be heavy.

Myth and legend: Aries

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and the seat of the ancient vernal equinox. It is the golden sheep in Greek mythology. It is said that King Atamas of ancient Greece married Nephiel, a fairy in the clouds, and gave birth to a pair of children Yunyun and Guanghua, but at first they abandoned chaos, married Princess Thebes and gave birth to a pair of children. Princess Thebes wanted to frame the children of the king's ex-wife, so Nephel let her children escape on the golden retriever sheep sent by Hermes. On the way, my daughter Guanghua accidentally fell into the sea (that is, the present Daniil Strait, which is called the Greek Strait of Siriban because Guanghua's Greek pronunciation is [Hili]). Only Jiyun fled to Colt, was welcomed by the king and married the princess. Jiyun thanked God and sacrificed the Golden Sheep to Zeus, so the Golden Sheep was listed among the stars. Ji Yun also gave golden fleece to King Colz, who hung it in the sacred garden of Mars.

Later, Jason, Jiyun's half-son, was raised by Sagittarius (Sagittarius), determined to get golden fleece, and formed an expedition team with orpheus, a lyre player? (Hercules) (1) column (Poerxiusi) (7) Katos (Caster) and Pollux (son of Zeus) are almost the same; All the way to Colt, King Colt asked Jason to tame two fire-breathing bulls with iron horns and copper hooves, put on plowshares to dig up the land of Mas Holy Garden, and sowed the teeth of poisonous snakes when the armored warriors landed, and then went to the place guarded by the dragon to get golden fleece; Jason got help from his wife's sister, Mitijia, and solved the problem of the cow and the warrior. Then he hypnotized the dragon through orpheus's piano and went to golden fleece. He left with a beautiful woman. When King Cole knew that he couldn't catch up with him, golden fleece was robbed! (In mythology, this is a game between Zeus and Sheila. Zeus certainly supported his son, but Sheila saw that these illegitimate children were not pleasing to the eye and tried every means to obstruct them. There are many stories. If you are interested, you can watch the movie [Prince Jason and the Devil] or read Greek mythology. )

Taurus constellation

There are two opinions about the identity of Taurus: one is that Zeus changed it and brought Princess Europa to the present European continent, hence the name Europa; On the other hand, it is said that Taurus is Poseidon's punishment for the king of Crete. He is a monster with a bull's head and eats virgins. The king had to build a maze in Jandira Das to trap the bull (it is said that even Diladas could not get out of the maze, so he had to build wings and fly out. Every year, boys and girls have to support it. Passieux, the prince of Athens, is determined to kill Poerxiusi and plans to blend in with boys and girls. Princess Crete fell in love with him and gave Passieux a sharp knife and a red ball. Passieux killed the cow with a knife and walked along the red line. Of course, the princess finally married Pacius!

Gemini

As the name implies, Gemini is indeed a pair of twins, and it is the masterpiece of playboy Zeus. One day, he turned into a swan and had a tryst with the princess of Sparta. As a result, the princess gave birth to two eggs, one hatched Helen, a peerless beauty who led to the Torcan War, and the other jumped out of her twin brother. The princess gave her brother Caster to her husband and her brother Polucus to Zeus, so that Polucus had an immortal body. When they grow up, they all become very brave soldiers. Katos is good at riding and Praxair is good at boxing. They made a lot of contributions in the war, but Katos died in a battle, and Praxair was very sad. He is very ... >>

The origin of the constellation name originated from Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations. About 5000 years ago, a group of Babylonian shepherds lived a nomadic life in Mesopotamia. In their wandering life as shepherds, they still don't forget to observe the twinkling stars in the night sky every day. Over time, they can see the regular changes of time and season from the dynamics of the stars. Every night, they look at the sheep, observe all kinds of stars, connect the brighter stars with each other, associate all kinds of animals, utensils and even gods they believe in from the connected shapes, and name them, creating the so-called constellation. It is said that there are more than 20 constellation names, such as the so-called zodiac 12 constellation that was born at that time. Since then, the Babylonians have continued to divide the sky into many regions and put forward new constellations. However, at that time, constellations were of little use, and even fewer were discovered and named. The constellation 12 on the ecliptic was originally used to measure time, not to express people's character as it is now. Around 1000 BC, 30 constellations have been proposed. The Tigris River and the Euphrates River flow from northwest to southeast and flow into the Persian Gulf, so they are also called "two river basins".

After the culture of the two river basins spread to ancient Greece, it promoted the cultural development of ancient Greece. Ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellation and compiled the ancient Greek constellation table. In the 2nd century A.D., Ptolemy, an ancient Greek astronomer, synthesized the astronomical achievements at that time and sorted out 48 constellations. Connect the main bright stars in the constellation with imaginary lines, imagine them as images of animals or characters, and give them appropriate names in combination with fairy tales. This is the origin of the constellation name. Most of the 48 constellations in Greek mythology live in the northern sky and north and south of the equator.

After the Middle Ages, European capitalism rose and needed to expand outward, and the navigation industry was greatly developed. Ships sailing at sea need navigation at any time, and stars are the best street lamps. Among the stars, this constellation has a special shape and is the easiest to observe. Therefore, constellations have aroused widespread concern. When Magellan sailed around the world in the16th century, he not only used constellations to navigate and orient, but also studied constellations.

1922, the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union decided to divide the sky into 88 constellations, and their names basically followed the historical names. 1928, the international astronomical union officially announced the names of 88 constellations. These 88 constellations are divided into three celestial regions, 29 in the northern hemisphere, 47 in the southern hemisphere, and near the equator and ecliptic 12.

There are nearly 6,000 stars visible to the naked eye, each of which can be classified as a unique constellation. Each constellation can be identified by the shape of the bright star inside.

In order to facilitate research, people divide the starry sky into several regions, which are called constellations.

Constellations measured by names are divided according to the solar calendar, according to the month and day of your birth year,
