CONSTELLATION

WHAT IS
CONSTELLATION?
 A CONSTELLATION IS A GROUP OF
STARS THAT MAKE AN IMAGINARY SHAPE
IN THE NIGHT SKY.THEY USUALLLY
NAMED AFTER MYTHOLOGICAL
CHARACTERS,PEOPLES,ANIMALS AND
OBJECT.IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE
WORLD,PEOPLE HAVE MADE DIFFERENT
SHAPES OUT OF THE SAME GROUPS OF
BRIGHT SATRS.IT IS LIKE A GAME OF
CONNECTING DOTS.

WHAT IS THE USE OF
CONSTELLATION?
 IN OUR OLD DAYS THE STARS
ALLOWS FARMERS TO PLAN AHEAD
AND FORM AGRICULTURE ,AND
CONSTELLATION MADE IT EASIER TO
RECOGNIZE AND INTERPRET THE
PATTERNS IN THE SKY.THE
CONSTELLATIONS ALSO HELPED WITH
NAVIGATION.
WHAT CONSTELLATION DID
THE BRIGHEST STAR
BELONG?
 POLARIS,DESIGNATED ALPHA URSAE MINORIS,COMMONLY
THE NORTH STAR OR POLE STAR,IS THE BRIGHEST STAR IN THE
CONSTELLATION OF URSA MINOR.IT IS VERY CLOSE TO THE
NORTH CELESTIAL POLE,MAKING IT THE CURRENT NORTHERN
POLE STAR.THE REVISED HIPPARCOS PARALLAX GIVES A DISTANCE
TO POLARIS OF ABOUT 433 LIGHT YEARS(133 PARSECS),WHILE
CALCULATIONS BY OTHER MRTHODS DERIVE DISTANCES AROUND
30% CLOSER.
WHAT CAUSES DIFFERENT STARS
TO APPEAR IN THE SKY AT
DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE YEAR?

THERE ARE TWO MAJOR MOTIONS

AFFECTING THE EARTH:ITS ROTATION
AROUND ITS AXIS ,AND ITS ROTATION
AROUND THE SUN(WHICH WE CALL
REVOLUTION).WHILE THE ROTATION OF
THE EARTH ON ITS AXIS CAUSES THE
NIGHTLY MOVEMENT OF THE STARS
ACROSS THE SKY,THE REVOLUTION IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FACT THAT WE
CAN SEE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE SKY AT
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE YEAR.
