The starry sky is magnificent in winter! The most famous Orion in the whole day is the center of the winter night sky, surrounded by many bright constellations, forming a dazzling starry sky pattern. 9 q，_，v！ [.`.F: z( l3 |！ }

# r/ C m2 l0 U7 z+ [# s Orion is the one with three stars in a row. These three stars are Orion's belt. In ancient China, it was called Ginseng. Not far below ginseng, there is a gas nebula visible to the naked eye, which is the famous Orion nebula. There are three stars that are not very bright under the belt. A short row is the sword of Orion. There are two stars above and below the belt, the head and hands above, and the legs below, so that the general appearance of Orion is almost out.

Polaris belongs to Ursa minor, and Xiao Xiong constellation, like Ursa major, is also a seven-star spoon with Polaris at the end of the spoon handle. It's just that all seven stars are very dark and difficult to identify. 5 a $[2 B& g6 |； s+ @

When it comes to Beidou, we can't help but mention the Hou Xian constellation. Polaris is very dark and difficult to find. You need to find Beidou to find it, but Beidou is sometimes below the horizon, so you need the Hou Xian constellation to come out. Fairy queen is a W-shaped (or M-shaped) constellation, which is always on the horizon. It's easy to identify. Just extend the two sides of W and connect the intersection with the star in the middle, and you can find the Polaris. )|$ S" V" x) P- T

You should be able to see a group of stars near Taurus and Aries. This is a group of Seven Sisters. If you count carefully, you will find that there are only six stars, which means that one star has dimmed since ancient times. This is a very meaningful thing, you know, the life of a star is calculated in billions of years.

In the central starry sky northeast of Taurus, it is the pentagonal constellation Auriga, and the main star of Auriga Capella is also a very bright star.

(H5L3 b) The southern sky on a summer night is particularly beautiful, not only because the Milky Way is particularly bright here, but also because Scorpio, the king of summer night constellations, is here. Scorpio is also one of the zodiac signs. Fifteen bright stars make up a huge scorpion shape. The body part of this scorpion is a row of three stars, slightly curved. In ancient times, these three stars were called Shang. The brightest red star in the middle is Antares, one of the four heavenly kings. Scorpio's tail is just in the Milky Way. Like a waterwheel, it was called Chemercury in ancient times.

Scorpio and Orion are the kings of the constellations in Xia Dong in two seasons, just at the two ends of the sky, so it is impossible to appear in the sky at the same time. That's the place where ancient businessmen in China didn't meet. In Greece, there are also legends about these two constellations. Legend has it that there is a very powerful Orion who never misses when hunting. Tianhou was jealous of him and let a scorpion poison him. Before he died, he also killed the scorpion. Later, the gods put them in the sky and turned them into constellations, but the Orion still refused to let go of the scorpion and kept chasing it. Scorpions are running, so the two constellations will not meet.
