Constellation and Constellation _ Is Constellation and Constellation the same?

Undoubtedly, the most famous constellation is the Big Dipper. It consists of seven bright stars in Ursa Major, representing the hind legs and exaggerated tail of the bear. The Big Dipper is usually the first known constellation in the northern hemisphere sky. Except for the long tail, other parts of Ursa minor hardly appear, but its pen name Little Beidou is widely known.

Ursa minor is not the only constellation that is difficult to see the shape of the object it represents. There are few constellations, and some constellations have earned nicknames. These nicknames are another type of constellation. It is usually easy to explain the origin of these constellations by looking at the names of the constellations in the short bar charts displayed on these constellations.

The most famous constellation is Cygnus Northern Cross. Starting from Tianjin IV (Cygnus α) at the tail of the upper swan, it reaches the beak by increasing by seven (Cygnus β), and horizontally extends from Tianjin IX (Cygnus ε) on one side to Tianjin II (Cygnus δ) on the other side.

The giant hook is a traditional name given to Scorpio by the West Asians in Porini. This pattern is obvious. If the connection of Antares (Scorpio α) passes through Cedar IV (Scorpio β) and Cedar I (Scorpio π) instead of Cedar IV passing through Cedar III (Scorpio δ) to Cedar IV, a huge capital J can be formed.

A complete butterfly pattern can be formed by adding a vertical line to the left and right sides of the five immortals' main modeling diagram.

Although this is not an ancient concept, Capricorn can be regarded as an ice cream, but it is more famous for the shape of a kite.

The stars in Cassiopeia formed the shape of W, which gave him the nickname of W constellation.

In Australia, dinosaurs are called frying pans to help find the stars in the south.

A constellation may be just a part of traditional constellations, such as: * Orion belt; Aquarius in Aquarius;

The staff of Hercules.

There are many others too numerous to mention.

The stars in other constellations are also composed of a single constellation, but they are not traditional modeling maps.

The four stars in the center of Wuxian: Tianji III (Wuxian ε), Tianji II (Wuxian ζ), Tianji Zengyi (Wuxian η) and Nv Chuangyi (Wuxian π) form the famous keystone.

In Leo's head, the curve formed by the star from Xuanyuan VII (Leo ε) to Xuanyuan XIV (Leo α) is like a question mark in the mirror image, which has always been called a sickle.

Archers' bows and arrows are also famous teapots (even there is a little hazy gas like water vapor near the mouth of the pot).

Dog country is a quadrilateral composed of four dim little stars on the front leg of Sagittarius, dog country 1, dog country 4, dog country 2 and dog country 3 (ω, 59, 60, 62).

In addition, the four stars at the bottom of the ship, Nanchuan V, Haishiwu, Nanchuan III and Nanchuan IV (β, υ, θ, ω), form a perfect diamond (diamond cross).

The small pan can be:

Orion belt and dagger, the handle is King Kong (Orion ι), and the outer edge is as far as Betelgeuse Zengsan (Orion η).

In Australia, it is part of the peacock constellation.

Shu Tian and Tian Xuan (α and β in Ursa Major) are the two ends of the big spoon, which are often called Polaris: connecting Tian Xuan to the direction of Shu Tian and extending it five times, you can find Polaris (α in Ursa Minor).

Nanmen II (Alpha Centauri) and Sagittarius I (Beta Centauri) are polar stars of the South Pole, which can point out the position of the Southern Cross and help to distinguish it from the false cross.

Like seasonal constellations, some other constellations are made up of stars in more than one constellation.

Another group of stars, like Virgo's diamonds, is composed of a pair of equilateral triangles. Sirius (Alpha Canis Canis), Nanhesan (Alpha Canis) and Betelgeuse (Alpha Orion) form the North Triangle (Winter Triangle), and then Sirius, Sagittarius Zengge 22 (Alpha Sagittarius) and Zhang Renyi (Alpha Sagittarius) form the South Triangle. Although not like a diamond, these two triangles are staggered, not edge to edge, but vertex to vertex, shaped like X in ancient Egypt. The name comes from its shape, which passes through the equator of the celestial sphere and is easier to see in the southern Mediterranean than in Europe.

A diamond pattern consisting of four stars: three stars are at the head of Draco (Draco γ), Draco I (Draco ξ) and [[Draco β]] (Draco β) plus [[Draco Wu]], at the foot of Ursa Ursa (Wuxian).

The pseudo-cross consists of Tian She III (δ) and Tian She V (κ), and Shi Hai I (ε) and Shi Hai II (Χ). Although these stars are not as bright as the Southern Cross, they are bigger and better in shape than the Southern Cross, so navigators of some ships often make mistakes.

In addition to large-scale clusters, there are also small clusters that are obviously suitable for telescope observation.

Although the image in the photo is upside down, the brocchi cluster in Vulcan is still easy to identify.

The gambo beads in the constellation Panthera are like a colorful toothpick in the night sky.
