Constellation history:

More than 2000 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190 ~ 120 BC) divided the ecliptic into twelve segments, with the spring divided into zero, counting from the vernal equinox (that is, the zero degree of the ecliptic). Every 30 degrees is a house named after the main constellations contained in each house at that time, including Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Lion, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces, which are called the zodiac. There are twelve constellations in all.
