Astronomical observation is the key to open the door to astronomy. People can not only broaden their horizons and understand the grandeur of the universe, but also cultivate the practical ability and scientific spirit of observers. This book mainly aims at teenagers and explains the necessary astronomical knowledge and basic observation methods before observation. Very suitable for astronomy enthusiasts who don't have much experience. In addition to some basic contents, the book also includes two exercises ("Moon Terrain Recognition" and "Galaxy Classification"), which is a very practical book. (Space Astronomical Network. 1. A social vice has spread to the whole community. )
People born in Cancer have two expressions in English, one is "crab" and the other is "moon child". Of course, in order to avoid ambiguity, we seldom say "I am a cancer." I'm a cancer. The word "crab" is a general term for crustaceans such as "crab", from which a very useful word is called "crab", which means the adjective "grouchy, bad temper", but I don't know what the relationship between crab and bad temper is. There is also a common food called "crab cake" in British and American life, which seems to be called "crab cake" The close relative and synonym of this word is "cranky" and the adjective is "irritable". The word "moon child" comes from astrology related to cancer and the moon, which sounds particularly nice. "I am a moon child." I am a cancer or I am a child of the moon.
Gemini Gemini
The third of the zodiac is a twin uterus, which is called "Gemini" in English and means twins in Latin. There is a singing group called "Jane Rice", named after Gemini.
There is a famous story in Greek mythology about the Caster and Polonius brothers. In a battle, Caster was killed. Polucus didn't want to live longer than his brother and asked Zeus to give him the death penalty. Zeus was moved by their brothers' emotions, so he turned them into Gemini in the sky and accompanied them forever. These two brothers have a collective name in English, which is called "Dioscuri". We can say, "Custer is one of Dioscuri." . "Ricinus communis" is called "Beihe II" in astronomical terms. It is one of the two stars in Gemini and the brightest star in this group, about 46 light years away from the earth. Pollux, known as the "North River Three", is a bright star of Gemini.
Taurus Taurus
The second constellation Taurus, called Taurus in English, stands for bull in Latin. Of course, everyone knows that bulls are called bulls now, and there are other kinds of cows, such as cow, ox, steer, Meat Cattle and Cattle.
The word Taurus comes from the root of "ox": "tauro-". Besides "Taurus", it also produced the words "matador" and "matador", both of which refer to Spanish matador. Of course, matador and matador are more commonly used words for matadors. The latest issue of Sanlian Life Weekly is about the pursuit of Spanish culture year, which contains an introduction to the famous bullfighting in Spain. I have always felt that bullfighting is a cruel thing, and I can't bear to watch it. Although this sport shows people's bravery, it is cruel to animals after all. Later, it was found that the ending of bullfighting was the same as that of ordinary beef cattle, but the place of death was different. One died a soul-stirring death, and the other died in mystery. Finally, there is a GRE word called "taurine", the adjective means "bull's" and the noun means "taurine", which can be remembered or not.
Aries Aries
The first constellation is Aries, the English name Aries, which means "ram". Now this meaning is not often used, and ram is generally used to represent ram.
There is nothing else to say, hehe! However, it should also be said that the words that indicate the constellation in English can also indicate people born in this constellation, such as "I bet you are Aries." I bet you are an Aries. )
