Plancius called the constellation " Paradysvogel Apis Indica "; the first word is Dutch for ' bird of paradise ', but the others are Latin for " Indian Bee "; " apis " ( Latin for " bee ") is presumably an error for " avis " or " bird ".

Sole usage of the tropical zodiac is inconsistent with references made, by the same astrologers, to the Age of Aquarius which is dependent on when the vernal point enters the constellation of Aquarius.

Arcturus (; α Boo, α Boötis, Alpha Boötis ) is the brightest star in the constellation Boötes and in fact the northern celestial hemisphere.

It is the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius, and is often referred to as " the heart of the scorpion ".

In modern astronomy, a constellation is an internationally defined area of the celestial sphere.

The term circumpolar constellation is used for any constellation that, from a particular latitude on Earth, never sets below the horizon.

However, there are some exceptions: many of the stars in the constellation of Ursa Major ( including most of the Big Dipper ) are genuinely close to one another, travel through the galaxy with similar velocities, and are likely to have formed together as part of a cluster that is slowly dispersing.

It is located in a binary star system ( Gridlock ) within the constellation of Kasterborous ( Pyramids of Mars, Attack of the Cybermen and Voyage of the Damned ), at " galactic coordinates ten-zero-eleven-zero-zero by zero-two from galactic zero centre " ( Pyramids of Mars ( 1975 ), Full Circle ( 1980 ) and partially in " The Family of Blood " ( 2007 )), which is some 250 million light years away from Earth ( as stated in the 1996 Doctor Who television movie ).

The Messier 80 globular cluster in the constellation Scorpius is located about 28, 000 light-year s from the Sun and contains hundreds of thousands of stars.

It is located below the constellation Orion ( the hunter ), and is sometimes represented as a hare being chased by Orion or, alternatively, by Orion's hunting dogs.

The former constellation Neper, representing an auger, may have been located in or near modern-day Microscopium.

Ophiuchus () is a large constellation located around the celestial equator.

It is located to the left of β and just north of the V-shaped group of stars in an area that was once occupied by the now-obsolete constellation of Taurus Poniatovii ( Poniatowski's Bull ).

The constellation is located close to those forming the old constellation of Argo Navis ( the ship Argo ), and in the 19th century astronomer John Herschel suggested renaming Pyxis to ' Malus, the mast ', but the suggestion was not followed.

It is a large constellation located in the southern hemisphere near the center of the Milky Way.

These are given a Greek letter followed by the genitive case of the constellation in which they are located ; examples are Alpha Centauri or Gamma Cygni.

As seen from Tau Ceti, the Sun would be a third-magnitude star in the constellation Boötes .< ref group =" nb "> From Tau Ceti the Sun would appear on the diametrically opposite side of the sky at the coordinates RA =, Dec =, which is located near Tau Boötis.

* October 13 – French astronomer Charles Messier discovers the Whirlpool Galaxy, an interacting, grand-design spiral galaxy located at a distance of approximately 23 million light-years in the constellation Canes Venatici.

* 6. 2 Em — 650 light years — Distance to the Helix Nebula, located in the constellation Aquarius

In astronomy, the Pleiades ( or ) or Seven Sisters ( Messier object 45 or M45 ), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus.

The cluster's relative motion will eventually lead it to be located, as seen from Earth many millennia in the future, passing below the feet of what is currently the constellation of Orion.

Trait EI is " a constellation of emotional self-perceptions located at the lower levels of personality.

* SGR 1806-20, located 50, 000 light-years from Earth on the far side of our Milky Way galaxy in the constellation of Sagittarius.

* SGR 1900 + 14, located 20, 000 light-years away in the constellation Aquila.

* 1E 1048. 1 − 5937, located 9, 000 light-years away in the constellation Carina.

Messier 100 ( also known as NGC 4321 ) is an example of a grand design spiral galaxy located within the southern part of constellation Coma Berenices.

In about 40, 000 years, it and Voyager 2 will each come to within about 1. 7 light-years of two separate stars: Voyager 1 will have approached star Gliese 445, located in the constellation Ophiuchus ; and Voyager 2 will have approached star Ross 248, located in the constellation of Andromeda.

The constellation Pyxis ( the mariner's compass ) occupies an area which in antiquity was considered part of Argo's mast ( called Malus ).

It is the eighth smallest constellation, with an area just less than that of Corona Australis.

Although Sagitta is an ancient constellation, it has no star brighter than 3rd magnitude and has the third-smallest area of all constellations ( only Equuleus and Crux are smaller ).

By combining this with forward error correction capable of correcting single-bit errors, it is possible for a receiver to correct any transmission errors that cause a constellation point to deviate into the area of an adjacent point.

Artemis ( to whom the Ceryneian Hind was said to have been sacred, causing her to draw an arrow at Hercules, just like the constellation Sagittarius appears to be doing ), is a key player in the myth discussing the origin of Scorpio and death of Orion, and so has an association with this area of sky.

When the sun has reached the constellation of Taurus, it has passed over an area that the ancients referred to as the sea-the region from Capricorn to the region containing Aries.

The radiant of this shower is an area inside the constellation Boötes.

In the reverse mentoring situation, the mentee has more overall experience ( typically as a result of age ) than the mentor ( who is typically younger ), but the mentor has more knowledge in a particular area, and as such, reverses the typical constellation.

Over one hundred white " shmoo " detectors were at one time sprinkled around the accelerator beamstop area and adjacent mesa to capture subatomic cosmic ray particles emitted from the Cygnus constellation.

The Greek Aquila is probably based on the Babylonian constellation of the Eagle ( MUL. A. MUSHEN ), which is located in the same area as the Greek constellation.

Over one hundred white " shmoo " detectors were at one time sprinkled around the accelerator beamstop area and adjacent mesa to capture subatomic cosmic ray particles emitted from the Cygnus constellation.

* Aquarius ( constellation ), a defined area of the sky containing a group of stars

The field is 200 arcseconds to a side, with a total area of 11 square arcminutes, and lies in the constellation of Fornax.

The Joker area is also frequently referred to as a galaxy, or even a constellation, although these descriptions are even less appropriate, constellations only being visible as such when observed from a distance.

For example, a 6U CubeSat standard has been proposed to enable a constellation of 35 Earth-imaging satellites to replace a constellation of five RapidEye Earth-imaging satellites, at the same mission cost, with significantly increased revisit time: every area of the globe can be imaged every 3. 5 hours rather than the once per 24 hours with RapidEye constellation.

A constellation is a certain area of the celestial sphere.

Due to the awkward name the constellation was modified and name changed a couple of times, for example some old star maps show Sceptrum Imperiale, Stellio and Scettro, while Johannes Hevelius ' es star map divides the area between the new Lacerta and as a chain end fettering Andromeda.

That area of the sky is also rich in bright stars ( the constellation of Orion, Sirius, Capella etc.
