Thirteen constellations

What do you know about constellations? What do you know about the thirteen constellations?

There are actually thirteen constellations. According to the order of Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Different from the widely used twelve constellations, there is Ophiuchus in the thirteen constellations.

Ophiuchus constellation

Ophiuchus is one of the zodiac constellations. Seen from the earth, Ophiuchus is located to the south of Ursa major, to the north of Scorpio and Sagittarius, and to the west of the Milky Way.

As early as 1930, after the International Astronomical Union unified the boundaries of constellations, it issued an official statement confirming that there are thirteen constellations on the ecliptic. The existence of Ophiuchus is no longer news, but old news more than 80 years ago.

At first, in order to show the position of the sun on the ecliptic, the ancients divided the ecliptic into twelve segments on average and named them to mark the position of celestial bodies.

Ophiuchus is the only constellation that crosses the zodiac, but it does not belong to the zodiac. Maybe because they think thirteen is unlucky.

In the Netherlands, it is difficult to find the building 13 and the house number 13. They use other symbols instead, such as "12A" and so on.

Ophiuchus constellation

Asclepius, the god of medicine in Roman mythology, was executed by Zeus for discovering the secret of immortality, and then his image was elevated to the starry sky and became Ophiuchus.
