The constellation I have chosen is Ursa Major, specifically the Big Dipper within it. Ironically, Ursa Major is my favorite because of one of its many creation stories. Ursa Major is also known as the Great Bear, and lies in the northern hemisphere. It was one of the 88 constellations first recognized by the International Astronomical Union. It is also the third largest constellation in the sky. I recognize that the Big Dipper is not a constellation, this creation story is too good to pass up sharing
The pattern or shape in the night sky is called a constellation. There are many constellations, all different shapes and sizes. For example, there are horoscope constellations, or zodiac constellations, Big Dipper, Small Dipper, Pegasus, and etc. These constellations are all different shapes and sizes. But in this paper, there’s a certain type of constellation that will be discussed in this paper and those “certain type” are zodiac constellations. Not all 12 but only six: Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Libra
Introduction The constellation I've chosen is Orion (or "The Hunter"). The reason for my choice is because, having previously studied Muggle Astronomy, I know it harbours the red giant star Betelgeuse; this star is believed to be on the brink (astronomically speaking!) of going supernova and is expected to be the next star to go supernova within the Milky Way. Indeed, all the eyes of Muggle Astronomers are upon it, as the last directly observed supernova explosion in our galaxy dates back to 1604
Constellation is a specific group of formed stars that are creating a pattern that is recognized as a shape that a is named from the form figure in the sky. Constellations are all over the universe, new ones are created every day as the universe is expanding more and more every day. The constellations that we see every day is only a few of the stars that scientist have discovered, so far there are more constellation farther out in the universe but with our technology today we are not able to see
both the northern and southern hemispheres. With this known it is understandable why it is one of the most recognised patterns in the sky, although it does appear differently oriented depending on where the observers are located. History: The constellation Orion is named after a giant huntsman in Greek Mythology. The arrangement of the stars somewhat resemble a hunter holding a shield or lion. To the east and south are his hunting dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor with whom he fought the bull Taurus
eras bygone such as the Greeks, Romans, and Babylonians, and bestowed most, if not all of the titles upon the constellations as we know them today. Earth’s atmosphere comprises eighty-eight constellations, of which I have chosen the following five to discuss for my laboratory report: Andromeda, Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, and Draco The most notable characteristic of the constellation Andromeda its appearance resembles the letter “V”. It’s position, adjacent to the North Pole, means that to
Essay 85: Orion the Hunter Orion, the Hunter, is perhaps the most widely recognized of all constellations. In Greek mythology, Orion was a mighty hunter who triumphed over the mightiest beasts but fell victim to the bite of a lowly scorpion. To acknowledge this, the gods placed Orion on the opposite side of the sky as the constellation Scorpio so the two would never be visible simultaneously. To the ancient Egyptians, Orion was the god Osiris, while Amazonian Indians saw Orion as a giant river
Constellations are patterns of groups of stars in the sky. They have been around for a long time, and most people know of the most common ones, especially the zodiac constellations. I find constellations interesting because I always liked trying to find them in the night sky, and I have always wondered how they came about. Constellations have an important history that many do not know about. Constellations have been around for over 3000 years. No one knows who invented them, however astronomers believe
Perhaps the simplest constellation of the four original Greek constellations is the Hyades. One of the first mentions of the Hyades is found in Works and Days by Homer, as a seasonal signal to farmers. Farmers were told “... when the... Hyades... begin to set... remember to plough...” (Hesiod 612-613). The myth is that the Hyades are believed to be the daughters of the Titan Atlas and the Oceanid Aethra and the sisters of the Pleiades (Britannica School). After nursing the god Dionysus as a baby
Hercules is a large constellation in the northern hemisphere. It was originally included on the list of constellations by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century. Once known as Engonasin or the Kneeler in Greece, the constellation is now identified with the Greek hero Heracles, or Hercules in Roman mythology, and depicted as a hero figure standing triumphantly over a slain dragon, holding a club. The dragon is associated with Ladon, the beast with a hundred heads that guarded the Garden

water tray half full with water. Then I will collect 3g medium chips. I will measure 30cm3 of hydrochloric acid. I will connect the delivery tube to the measuring cylinder which is turned over which will be full with water. This is shown on my diagram. I will begin timing using a stopwatch and record the results every 10 seconds for 1 minute. I will use 0.5molar/dm3 to 3.0molar/dm3 of hydrochloric acid and record 3 sets of results and then I will take an average. Fair Test In order to
1.1 General Construction labour productivity has become big problem in construction industry. In many countries, labour cost comprises 30 to 50% of the overall project’s cost (Yates and Guhathakurta, 1993), and thus is regarded as a true reflection of the economic success. Because construction is labour-intensive industry, significance of this effect not only justifies the concern over its labour productivity, but it can also be argued that labour power is the only productive resource. There are
if I shouted "Three!" they would have to jump. The warm up will last about five minutes, so as not to tire them out. Skills and Practice For a practice/skills based activity, an obstacle course would be set up for them to complete (see diagram) while dribbling a football. They will each get a turn at this, and hopefully, it will prove to be fun as well as good practice. This activity will last about 5 - 10 minutes. [IMAGE] Text Box: The aim of this activity is to practice ball
the higher the temperature rise. I therefore predict the higher the concentration the higher the temperature change. Background knowledge I know that when I add the iron filings to the solution the iron will displace the Copper here is a diagram to show the reaction. [IMAGE] Controlled variables Ø The same mass of Iron filings Ø The same volume of copper sulphate solution Variables Ø Concentration of the Copper Sulphate (CuSO4) Safety Ø Wash hands if you get all copper
harmonic motion of a pendulum can be studied by attaching a ticker-tape to a pendulum bob and analyzing the dots marked on the tape. Theory ------ In this experiment, a string was used to suspend a 0.5 kg mass. [IMAGE] Refer to the diagram above, [IMAGE] Considering the tangential force on the mass, [IMAGE] [IMAGE] ∴The oscillation is simple harmonic. Therefore, we can find out more on simple harmonic motion by analyzing the ticker-tape we obtained after the experiment
and fuel in it. Diagram; Plan; First of all, I will set the clamp stand 3.5cm vertically higher then the crucible which then I put some mineral wool in and 30 drops of the fuel in. After that I am going to weigh the crucible making sure there is no other liquid or any other substances on the weigher, so I don't do not get any anomalous results. After I have recorded the weight I am going to place the crucible directly under the boiling tube, like shown in the diagram, and then I am going
depression for the known masses or the unknown mass. I have kept the way that I have measured the depression the same throughout and to ensure that this is as accurate as possible I have used a protractor to take the measurements, (see 'method'.) Diagram Method The apparatus was set up as shown above.
