Blog post 4: Constellation

We can define stars as out of reach, guide, light, mysterious, faith and relaxing. Like a fairy tail that is out of reach. A light that guide us in our struggles. Like a love that is mysterious that leads our life. Faith that helps you think of what will happened next. Relaxing like sweeping away your doubts. Stars of our life turned where the heaven looking back at you with thousands of eyes.

In the article Stargazing: Finding the Stars and Constellations in The Old Farmer's Almanac for Kids, Volume 2 in the website www.almanac.com. They identify 88 patterns that help people navigate on land and by sea as well as tell time using star that appears in different parts of the sky. Constellation has great significance that has been given to the celestial objects seen in the sky. Constellation is a group of stars that visible related to in a particular configuration. The stars in a constellation or asterism rarely have any astrophysical relationship to each other; they just happen to appear close together from Earth and typically lie very far apart in space. Also in this article it explain way they found the different patterns they have or they observe.

While doing my research in constellation I think about how constellation got their names so, I found a article entitled "How The Night Sky Constellation Got Their Names" by Joe Rao in the website www.livescience.com. The 48 constellation are known as ancient or original. Its just like in Greek or Babylonian time the 48 constellation names come from like they name it in some of their gods. The other half was the modern constellation that discover by the astronomers and give it a name. But the most know constellation are the 12 zodiac sign that people believe for their daily fortune and others base it for their lucky charms or even a guide for a day. Giving names in the star patterns or the constellation is like giving name to all the living things we have in this earth like us our parents think about our names carefully.

Constellation is like the quote made by Confucius "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." Because star constellation and gazing at the stars is complicated in various things while life become complicated when it comes to challenges and problems we have in our daily life. Star constellation may help higher the hope of other people because of the pattern the stars form or so called zodiac signs that many of us believe in.
