The well-documented constellations originated in Babylon, and the Babylonians put forward 30 constellations around 1000 BC.

After the culture of the two river basins (Babylon) spread to Greece, ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellation and compiled the ancient Greek constellation table. Ptolemy, an ancient Greek astronomer, synthesized the astronomical achievements at that time and sorted out 48 constellations.

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. 16 when Magellan actually sailed around the world, 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 and 47 in the southern hemisphere, near the ecliptic 12.

And the constellation we usually say is the 12 constellation on the ecliptic. Each of them has some myths and legends about himself.

Twelve constellations in the eyes of scientists:

Because the earth revolves around the sun, when people look at the sun from the earth's mobile platform, it is the sun that revolves around the earth relatively-the sun moves slowly on the starry background, only once a year, and returns to its original position. The route that the sun "walks" in this way is called the ecliptic.

Moreover, the orbit of the moon around the earth, that is, the "white road", and the orbit of planets around the sun is very close to the ecliptic, so the moon and planets always "shuttle" back and forth not far from the ecliptic, so that the ecliptic region has become a "runway" for celestial bodies such as the sun, the moon and the planets to chase and meet each other.

Babylonians paid special attention to this phenomenon more than 3000 years ago, so they drew a wide road along the ecliptic-the so-called "Zodiac Belt", whose width extended to 8 degrees on both sides of the ecliptic, *** 16 degrees. The zodiac signs were first marked by the zodiac signs, with an average score of 12, which is called "zodiac signs".
