A Constellation is a group of stars that forms an imaginary outline or meaningful pattern on the celestial sphere, typically representing an animal, mythological person or creature, a god, or an inanimate object.The origins of some constellations extend back to prehistory. Their creators used them to relate stories of their beliefs, experiences, creation myths, or mythology. Different cultures and countries adopted their own sets of constellations outlines, some of which persisted into the early 20th century. Adoption of constellations has changed significantly over time. Many have changed in size or shape. Some became popular, only to drop into obscurity. Others were limited to single cultures or nations. * The 48 traditional western constellations are Greek. They are given in Aratus' work Phenomena and Ptolemy's Almagest, though their origin probably predates these works by several centuries. Constellations in the far southern sky were added from the 15th century until the mid-18th century, when European explorers began travelling to the Southern Hemisphere. Twelve ancient constellations are assigned to the zodiac (where the Sun, Moon, and planets all lie), which straddles the ecliptic. The origins of the zodiac, whose astrological divisions became prominent c. 400 BC in Babylonian or Chaldean astronomy, probably dates back to prehistory. * In 1922, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) recognized 88 modern constellations, with contiguous boundaries that together covering the entire celestial sphere. Any given point in a celestial coordinate system lies in one of the modern constellations. Some astronomical naming systems include the constellation where a given celestial object is found in order to convey its approximate location in the sky. The Flamsteed designation of a star, for example, consists of a number and the genitive form of the constellation name. * Other star patterns or groups called asterisms are not constellations per se, but are used by observers to navigate the night sky. Asterisms often refer to several stars within a constellation or may share stars with several constellations. Examples include the Pleiades and Hyades within the constellation Taurus and the False Cross split between the southern constellations Carina and Vela.* |
