The constellation you just said _ What was the constellation you just said?

Ophiuchus (165438+1October 30 to 65438+February 17) is one of the zodiac signs, which is located in the south of Hercules, north of Scorpio and Sagittarius and west of the Milky Way. Ophiuchus is the only constellation connected with another constellation-Ophiuchus. At the same time, Ophiuchus is the only constellation that spans the celestial equator, the Milky Way and the ecliptic. Ophiuchus is big and wide, rectangular, and the equator of the celestial sphere passes through this rectangle diagonally. Although Ophiuchus spans a short galaxy, the center of the Milky Way is Sagittarius, not far from Ophiuchus. The Milky Way has a prominent part here, forming the widest area of the Milky Way.

In addition, although the ecliptic crosses Ophiuchus, Ophiuchus does not belong to the ecliptic. Every year around165438+1October 29th, the sun passes through Ophiuchus until it enters Sagittarius in February of 17. Scorpio has no solar terms on the ecliptic, and Ophiuchus has a solar term of heavy snow.

Ophiuchus is Latin for Ophiuchus, abbreviated as Oph. In ancient star maps, Ophiuchus was depicted as a man holding a giant snake. On behalf of the ancient imperial doctor Asclepius. Ophiuchus α is the brightest star in Ophiuchus, a white giant (A5Ⅲ) with an apparent magnitude of 2.08, an absolute magnitude of 0.96 and a distance of 54 light years. Ophiuchus β is a red giant (K2Ⅲ), with an apparent magnitude of 2.77, a distance of 99 light years and an absolute magnitude of -0. 1. There is a large open cluster with few stars in its northeast 1 5.

[Edit this paragraph] Fairy tales

Asclepius, holding the serpent in his hands, is the god of medicine, the son of Apollo and Koronis. When Klonis was killed by the golden bird, the snake man tried to save her life. Later, Hades, the grumpy god of hell (as the Romans called him), knew that he had broken the dogma, so he shot Asclepius with thunder.

The story of Ophiuchus

Kay Long Xing of Sagittarius took a fancy to Apollo's beloved son Askri Diez and taught him all his knowledge. With his father, the god of medicine, and an excellent teacher, Ascledios immediately surpassed the teacher and became a very excellent doctor. He treated patients who other doctors had given up treatment, saved seriously injured patients, and soon even had the ability to bring patients back to life.

Hades said angrily, "What a terrible thing. If this continues, there will be no one in the country of the dead. " He quickly protested fiercely to Zeus, the king of gods: "The fate of the world has long been doomed, how can it be changed at will?" Even God is not allowed to do such a thing, what's more, he raised the dead into people, which is really a mess. "

Zeus also thought that the order of the universe would indeed be chaotic, so he killed Ascledius with lightning. But as a doctor, his great achievements can not be ignored, so Zeus added him to the constellation, and Ophiuchus was born. After Asclepius's death, he was even more respected. Because he built a temple in Urus, patients who came to ask for help always lined up. Those patients go to the temple to support him and pray for him, and then when they fall asleep, Ascledius will appear in their dreams and tell them how to cure their diseases.

Ascledios, who became Ophiuchus, held a snake in his hand, because Ascledios used snake venom as medicine before his death. In the eastern Mediterranean, snakes have always been very sacred animals and are loved and respected; In a hospital called Asclepion, snakes are not only made into spells or witchcraft, but also used snake scare therapy. They think that snakes have strong vitality, so they have something to do with treating their diseases. Moreover, after the snake "dies" in the cold winter, the "corpse" will not rot, but will be alive and kicking in the spring, so everyone thinks that the snake has the ability to "come back from the dead".

[Edit this paragraph] Interesting stars

Barnard: Seen from the earth, this star is located in the east of Ophiuchus beta. It was first discovered by American scientist Barnard in 19 16. It is the nearest neighbor to the sun after Nanmener, 5.87 light years away from the sun. At the same time, it is also the fastest moving star in the whole day as seen from the earth, with its own time of 10.3 seconds per year, and it moves on the celestial sphere for a distance of one lunar surface every 189. The direction of motion is towards the solar system, so after thousands of years, it will become the closest star to the earth, and there may be planets orbiting it.

Ophiuchus 70: This is a binary star that orbits each other for 88 years. The two satellites are +4 and +6, which are 3.7 arc seconds apart, and the distance is expanding.

M9: The loosely structured globular cluster is very small, and the brightest star is around+14. It needs a 10 inch (25 cm) telescope to see part of it, with a magnitude of +7.9.

Ophiuchus Star Map M 10 and M 12: These two globular clusters are 3.4 degrees apart, close to the center of Ophiuchus, and their structures are relatively loose. If there is no light pollution, you can easily see them with a 4-inch (10 cm) telescope. Their magnitude is +6.6, M 10 is 14000 light years away from the earth, and M 12 is 18000 light years away from the earth.

This is a globular cluster. Only a vague outline can be seen with a small telescope, and bright stars can be distinguished with a telescope of 10 inch (25 cm). Its magnitude is +7.5.

M62: This is a bright round globular cluster with a magnitude of +6.6, which is located in the sky with dense stars.

M 107: This is the darkest globular cluster in messier objects with a magnitude of +8. 1.

NGC6633 and IC4665: These are large and loose clusters that can be observed with binoculars, and bright stars can be seen with binoculars.

[Edit this paragraph] Constellation 13

What constellation are you? The Royal Astronomical Society says you may be mistaken about the constellation. According to the Institute, people born between165438+1October 30th to 65438+February 17 should be Ophiuchus, not Sagittarius. Ophiuchus lies between Scorpio and Sagittarius.

In mythology, Ophiuchus is a man who jumps snakes, similar to the Greek god of medicine. If Ophiuchus is in the right position, then the traditional star chart will have to be revised accordingly, and the territory of Scorpio and Sagittarius in the traditional star chart will have to be handed over.

Astronomers have long pointed out that the familiar horoscope of the zodiac does not conform to the actual phenomenon of celestial bodies. When the laws of astrology were laid more than 2000 years ago, the astrological chart formed by the sun "passing through" a series of constellations was quite different from what we see today.

Therefore, the real constellation date should be as follows:

Aries: April 19- may 13

Taurus: May 65438+June 20th, 2004.

Gemini June 2 1- July 19

Cancer July 20-August 19

Leo August 20-September 15

Virgo September 16-10 October 30th

Libra 65438+1October 31-kloc-0/65438+1October 22.

Scorpio165438+1October 23rd-165438+1October 29th.

Ophiuchus165438+1October 30th-65438+February 65438+July.

Sagittarius 65438+February 18-65438+ 10/8

Capricorn 65438+ 10 month 19-2 month 15

Aquarius February 16- March 1 1

Pisces March 12- April 18

Astrologers laughed at astronomers' remarks. Dorothy Donne, director of the American Astrological Union, told The Times of London: "There are twelve constellations, and Ophiuchus may be related to the constellation, but it has nothing to do with the zodiac."

[Edit this paragraph] Ophiuchus personality

At present, only those who recognize the "New Thirteen Constellations" recognize and support Ophiuchus, so there are few and incomplete descriptions of him from all walks of life:

Ophiuchus actually exists. It is between Sagittarius and Scorpio, and it mixes the advantages and disadvantages of two completely different constellations. Because the star on the sole of Ophiuchus originally belonged to the tail end of Scorpio, Scorpio's temperament and personality dominate him, but at the same time it has Sagittarius's passion, foresight and constant efforts for the goal, plus Scorpio's characteristics: calm, thinking, competitive, smart and delicate. Cold and mysterious. The intersection of Sagittarius and Scorpio is a constellation that cherishes and is passionate about love. Once you have a goal, it is easy to fall in love. However, if you find a problem between lovers, he can end it quickly, which inherits the characteristics of Sagittarius. Because it combines the characteristics of the two constellations, it is true love in love, which is related to fire, earth and feng shui. Ophiuchus has a good tolerance for feelings, but because of Scorpio's inner character, it will be very sad in a dark corner.

Snake people are good at holding grudges. He can remember all the gratitude of people around him and will never forget it. Therefore, when he recalls a person, he is always obsessed with thinking of the other person's good, but he can't let go of his hatred for the other person. But emotionally, he is a Scorpio, which is hard to forget every time.

Because Ophiuchus itself is a constellation interwoven by two constellations (Ophiuchus and Ophiuchus), Ophiuchus's character is really tangled, just like the war between Ophiuchus and Ophiuchus, sometimes its own rationality dominates, and sometimes its own sensibility dominates; They sometimes "love" and sometimes "indifference", which is why Ophiuchus people have been arguing about whether their constellation is like Scorpio or Sagittarius. In fact, no matter who it is, Ophiuchus can't deny the characteristics of its other half.

On the whole, Ophiuchus gives the impression of being biased towards the shooter. They don't smell like "keeping strangers away" like Scorpio, nor do they like to make people feel mysterious at first sight like Scorpio. They feel that those things are their own business and don't need to be shared by others. Actually, they just don't want to cause trouble to others. They want people to see their sunny side, and they feel that their inner darkness is reserved for themselves. However, they keep a low profile. When they think there is something to show off, they won't tell you (it's like Scorpio's low profile), but when others find out, they will feel very proud and don't forget to take the opportunity to exaggerate (this has become a flamboyant Sagittarius).

Ophiuchus is really a very tangled and mixed constellation. They are usually unpredictable. The more you associate with him, the more mysterious he becomes (you won't find his mystery at first), but when you understand the so-called mystery, you realize that it is only the level of a pupil, and there is nothing at all.

When you never know what he will do next, you can know them by remembering that they always wander between Scorpio and Sagittarius.

So in general, Ophiuchus is a very complicated and fickle constellation, but their original intention is just not to cause trouble to others, and they don't like to say anything, so they give each other some illusions.
