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!

    2. Descriptive Astronomy (“Astronomy Without a Telescope”) http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html • How do we locate stars in the heavens? • What stars are visible from a given location? • Where is the sun in the sky at any given time? • Where are you on the Earth? An “asterism” is two stars that appear To be close in the sky but actually aren’t In 1930 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) ruled the heavens off into 88 legal, precise constellations. (52 N, 36 S) Every star, galaxy, etc., is a member of one of these constellations. Many stars are named according to their constellation and relative brightness (Bayer 1603).

Hydrus – the male water snake is much smaller – 2243 square degrees Smallest is Crux – the Southern Cross – 68 square degrees Brief History Some of the current constellations can be traced back to the inhabitants of the Euphrates valley, from whom they were handed down through the Greeks and Arabs. Few pictorial records of the ancient constellation figures have survived, but in the Almagest AD 150, Ptolemy catalogued the positions of 1,022 of the brightest stars both in terms of celestial latitude and longitude, and of their places in 48 constellations. The Ptolemaic constellations left a blank area centered not on the present south pole but on a point which, because of precession, would have been the south pole c.

  • Finding the Planets Use the Charts Below to Find the Approximate Location of a Planet
    Finding the Planets Use the charts below to find the approximate location of a planet. If the month is blank the planet is not easily visible. Compare the constellation’s stars you see in the sky to the star charts on pages 10 and 11. The bright “star” that is not printed on the star chart will be the planet. Look for Mercury and Venus near the horizon in the morning about an hour before Sunrise (East) or in the evening about an hour after Sunset (West). Look for Mercury a few days before or after the date listed. Here is a tip: planets do not “twinkle”; stars do. An easy to use monthly star chart showing constellations, planets and other objects may be downloaded from www.skymaps.com To make your own accurate sky charts and find the exact location of a planet on any day from any location in the world, you can download the following free planetarium software.

This set of cards is not designed to replace an atlas, but to engage your interest and teach you the patterns, myths, and relationships between constellations. They may be used as “field cards” that you take outside with you, or they may be played in a variety of card games. The cultural and historical story behind the constellations is a subject all its own, and there are numerous books on the subject for the curious. These cards show 52 of the modern 88 constellations as designated by the International Astronomical Union. Many of them have remained unchanged since antiquity, while others have been added in the past century or so. The majority of these constellations are Greek or Roman in origin and often have one or more myths associated with them.
