Where do constellations come from?
Constellations originated in Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations, and the Babylonians put forward 30 constellations around 1000 BC. The Tigris River and the Euphrates River flow from northwest to southeast and flow into the Persian Gulf, so they are also called "two river basins".
After the culture of the two river basins spread to ancient Greece, it promoted the cultural development of ancient Greece. Ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellation and compiled the ancient Greek constellation table. In the 2nd century A.D., astronomers in ancient Greece compiled 48 constellations based on the astronomical achievements at that time.
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.
