1. Constellations in the 2nd century AD
In the 2nd century AD, the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy synthesized the astronomical achievements at that time and compiled 48 zodiac signs. And use imaginary lines to connect the main bright stars in the constellation, imagine them as images of animals or people, and give them appropriate names based on myths and stories. This is the origin of the name of the constellation. Most of the 48 constellations in Greek mythology live in the northern sky and north and south of the equator.
2. Modern 88 constellations
In 1928, the International Astronomical Union officially announced the internationally accepted 88 constellation plan. At the same time, it was stipulated that the vernal equinox and the equator of 1875 should be used as the benchmark. According to the different positions of the 88 constellations on the celestial sphere and the appearance of stars;
It is divided into five major areas, namely the northern sky constellations (5), the northern sky constellations (40~90°, 19 ), the twelve constellations of the zodiac (the 12 constellations near the ecliptic on the celestial sphere), the equatorial constellations (10), and the southern constellations (-30~-90°, 42).
