Hey, this is preasent4! I have some really cool information about
constellations.
Look at the night sky. On a clear night, you can see hundreds of pinpoints of
light called stars. Human beings have gazed at these same stars for thousands of
years. Some people made shapes and patterns by connecting the brighter stars.
Today we call these patterns constellations.
If you visit a planetarium, you may see a program about constellations. It may
show you Orion the Hunter or Gemini the Twins. These constellations may be
easier to see in the planetarium than outdoors.
Constellations only show the
things they represent. Ancient people thought up constellations in order to remember
important people and events that took place. It also helped them keep track of
what direction they were headed.
Another interesting thing from
constellations are zodiac signs. Everyone has a zodiac sign, and which one it is
depends on your birthday. A zodiac sign indicates the time the sun shines through a
constellation. You can find out your zodiac sign by looking in an almanac.
I
found out most of this info from the library. This is preasent4 signing off!!!
Peace and love for all,
preasent4
