know the names of the constellations (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled

well, astronomy was a family hobby when I was a kid.
I knew a lot of the constellations (the summer-sky-north-hemisphere ones), but I remember so few… Deneb, Vega, Altaïr, the 3 stars (I mean, as in ‘movie star’) of the summer, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor (but who doesn’t ?), the northern Star, Cassiopée the easy-to-remember one, (sorry, i don’t know the name in english) and that’s all. What a pity.

And I always thought I was clever for being able to find Casseopia! I’m going to have to learn a few new ones….I like making up my own and naming them after my friends! (it makes them easier for me to find)

Making your own names is a very funny way to look at the sky indeed. Still I’d like to learn the consensus names of constellations, because I found names so thoughts-provoking. Merely looking at the night sky is thoughts-provoking. Enjoy your nights :)
