This belt is considered special because it is where the sun, the moon, and the planets all move. The word zodiac means “circle of figures” or “circle of life”. As the earth revolves around the sun, different parts of the sky become visible. Each month, one of the 12 constellations show up above the horizon in the east and disappears below the horizon in the west. If you are born under a particular sign, the constellation it is named for can’t be seen at night. Instead, the sun is passing through it around that time of year making it a daytime constellation that you can’t see!

  • The Dunhuang Chinese Sky: a Comprehensive Study of the Oldest Known Star Atlas
    25/02/09JAHH/v4 1 THE DUNHUANG CHINESE SKY: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE OLDEST KNOWN STAR ATLAS JEAN-MARC BONNET-BIDAUD Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique ,Centre de Saclay, F-91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France E-mail: [email protected] FRANÇOISE PRADERIE Observatoire de Paris, 61 Avenue de l’Observatoire, F- 75014 Paris, France E-mail: [email protected] and SUSAN WHITFIELD The British Library, 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB, UK E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the star atlas included in the medieval Chinese manuscript (Or.8210/S.3326), discovered in 1907 by the archaeologist Aurel Stein at the Silk Road town of Dunhuang and now held in the British Library. Although partially studied by a few Chinese scholars, it has never been fully displayed and discussed in the Western world. This set of sky maps (12 hour angle maps in quasi-cylindrical projection and a circumpolar map in azimuthal projection), displaying the full sky visible from the Northern hemisphere, is up to now the oldest complete preserved star atlas from any civilisation. It is also the first known pictorial representation of the quasi-totality of the Chinese constellations. This paper describes the history of the physical object – a roll of thin paper drawn with ink. We analyse the stellar content of each map (1339 stars, 257 asterisms) and the texts associated with the maps. We establish the precision with which the maps are drawn (1.5 to 4° for the brightest stars) and examine the type of projections used.

  • H I Deficiency in Groups : What Can We Learn from Eridanus ?
    Bull. Astr. Soc. India (2004) 32, 239{245 H i de¯ciency in groups : what can we learn from Eridanus ? A. Omar¤y Raman Research Institute, Sadashivanagar, Bangalore 560 080, India Received 14 July 2004; accepted 24 August 2004 Abstract. The H i content of the Eridanus group of galaxies is studied using the GMRT observations and the HIPASS data. A signi¯cant H i de¯ciency up to a factor of 2 ¡ 3 is observed in galaxies in the Eridanus group. The de¯ciency is found to be directly correlated with the projected galaxy density and inversely correlated with the line-of-sight radial velocity. It is suggested that the H i de¯ciency is due to tidal interactions. An important implication is that signi¯cant evolution of galaxies can take place in a group environment. Keywords : galaxies: ISM { galaxies: interactions { galaxies: kinematics and dynamics { galaxies: evolution { galaxies: clusters: individual: Eridanus group { radio lines: galaxies 1. Introduction Spiral galaxies in the cores of clusters are known to be H i de¯cient compared to their ¯eld counterparts (Davies and Lewis 1973, Giovanelli and Haynes 1985, Cayatte et al. 1990, Bravo-Alfaro et al. 2000). Several gas-removal mechanisms have been proposed to explain the H i de¯ciency in cluster galaxies. There are convincing results from both the simulations and the observations that ram-pressure stripping can be active in galaxies which have crossed the high ICM (Intra Cluster Medium) density region in the cores of clusters (Vollmer et al. 2001, van Gorkom 2003). However, it is not clear that all H i de¯cient galaxies have crossed the core.

Long-term monitoring of night sky light levels at the units of the SEUG of the National Park Service (NPS) was initiated in 2001 and has evolved steadily through 2003. The Resource Management Division of the Southeast Utah Group (SEUG) performs all night sky monitoring and is based at NPS headquarters in Moab, Utah. All protocols are established in conjunction with the NPS National Night Sky Monitoring Team. This SEUG Night Sky Monitoring Program report contains a detailed description of the methodology and results of night sky monitoring at the four park units of the SEUG. This report also proposes a three pronged resource protection approach to night sky light pollution issues in the SEUG and the surrounding region. Phase 1 is the establishment of methodologies and permanent night sky monitoring locations in each unit of the SEUG. Phase 2 will be a Light Pollution Management Plan for the park units of the SEUG.

The constellation is located in an area of sky called the Sea or the Water, consisting of many water-related constellations such as Aquarius, Pisces and Eridanus.
