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 Twenty−Eight Lunar Mansions of China
    浜松医科大学紀要 一般教育 第5号(1991) THE TWENTY-EIGHT LUNAR MANSIONS OF CHINA (中国の二十八宿) David B. Kelley (英 語〉 Abstract: This’Paper attempts to place the development of the Chinese system ・fTw・nty-Eight Luna・ Man・i・n・(;+八宿)i・・血・lti-cult・・al f・am・w・・k, withi・ which, contributions from cultures outside of China may be recognized. lt・ system- atically compares the Chinese system with similar systems from Babylonia, Arabia,・ and lndia. The results of such a comparison not only suggest an early date for its development, but also a significant level of input from, most likely, a Middle Eastern source. Significantly, the data suggest an awareness, on the part of the ancient Chinese, of completely arbitrary groupings of stars (the twelve constellations of the Middle Eastern Zodiac), as well as their equally arbitrary syMbolic associ- ations. The paper also attempts to elucidate the graphic and organizational relation- ship between the Chinese system of lunar mansions and (1.)

INTRODUCTION The time it takes the Moon to circle the Earth is 29 days, 12 hours, and 44 minutes. However, the time it takes the moon to return to the same (fixed一) star position amounts to some 28 days. ln China, it is the latter period that was and is of greater significance. The Erh-Shih-Pα一Hsui(一Kung), the Twenty-Eight-lnns(Mansions),二十八 宿(宮),is the usual term in(Mandarin)Chinese, and includes 28 names for each day of such a month. ln East Asia, what is not

  • Astronomy for Kids - Leo
    Astronomy for Kids - Leo The Lion Leo is another companion to Orion in our night sky. You can easily find Leo any Leo Map time that Orion is visible by looking East of the Great Hunter. Although Leo is not as large as Orion, it's distinctive shape makes it very easy to pick out. If you click on the link for the map of Leo on the right, you will notice that the outline of the lion's head and the triangle formed by the stars in the lion's hindquarters are two very distinctive shapes that make this constellation very easy to spot. A map of Leo. Regulus - the Heart of the Lion The largest and brightest star in Leo is Regulus. This large blue star shines brightly as the heart of the lion. Although not a giant star, Regulus is still over five times as large as our Sun. A small telescope will show you that Regulus is part of what is called a "binary system". Binary stars are stars that have one or more companions that orbit around the largest star in the group, much like the planets orbit around our Sun. Find Out More About Leo Chris Dolan's Leo Page Chris Dolan's Leo page has lots of technical information about the stars that make up Leo Richard Dibon-Smith's Leo Page Richard Dibon-Smith's Leo page has a very good explanation of the mythology behind Gemini as well as an excellent reference to its stars and other interesting celestial companions.

    NSF’s National Optical Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory and Planetary Science Tod R. Lauer (NOIRLab) [email protected] (520) 861-4618 John Blakeslee (Gemini / NOIRLab) NSF’s National Optical Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab) is a new organization that consolidates NSF’s National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), the Gemini Observatory, and the operation of the Rubin Observatory into a unified system for providing the US research community with frontier observational facilities and data. NOIRLab will also be tasked with providing the community with access to the US extremely large telescope (ELT) projects now in development: the Giant Magellan Telescope and the Thirty Meter Telescope, if the NSF invests in construction and/or operations of one or both of these telescopes Historically, NOAO and Gemini have enthusiastically supported planetary science research, and fully expect to continue to do so over the coming decade. The Rubin Observatory will soon begin operations with its Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), which will provide a deep census of small bodies throughout the solar system. The ELTs will be built around high- performance adaptive optics fed imaging and spectroscopy, which will be available for detailed study of all solar system objects, and will support strong programs in exo-planet research. The Decade Ahead We write to the Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey with the simple goal of requesting that the survey consider us within the constellation of facilities available for supporting initiatives in planetary science and astrobiology over the coming decade. Overall, we see NOIRLab supporting leading-edge planetary science research with all of its facilities, and would enjoy working with the planetary science community to realize this ambition.

Its symbol is (Unicode ♑). Capricornus is one of the 88 modern constellations, and was also one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy. Under its modern boundaries it is bordered by Aquila, Sagittarius, Microscopium, Piscis Austrinus, and Aquarius. 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.

  • In This Exercise, You Will Learn Some of the Stars That Make up Patterns in the Sky
    PHYS 1830 - Perspectives on the Universe Winter 2015 PLANETARIUM EXERCISE In this exercise, you will learn some of the stars that make up patterns in the sky. These are properly known as asterisms. Constellations, on the other hand, are defined as 88 regions or patches of sky that are officially designated by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Constellations often contain the familiar patterns of stars that are the asterisms, but constellations are usually identified by their Latin name. For example, the asterism of the Big Dipper is contained within the constellation of Ursa Major, the Greater Bear. You will also be introduced to the astronomical coordinate system that is most commonly used to describe positions of objects in the sky: the equatorial coordinate system. Part 1: Sketching You will sketch several asterisms on a single page. Draw a line across the bottom of the page to indicate the position of the horizon. Label this line with the cardinal points. Draw a cross near the top of your sketch to represent the position of the zenith. Label this point. Lightly draw in the position of the meridian and label it. For each sketch, label the time for which the planetarium is set and record your location within the dome. Use circles to mark the relative positions of the stars. The size of the circle should reflect the relative brightness with larger circles indicating brighter stars. Use straight lines to connect the relevant stars to draw the asterism shape. Sketch #1: Big Dipper, Little Dipper, and Cassiopeia Label the asterism/constellation name.
