The Origin of the Zodiac. The Origin of the Zodiac: (Astrology) The zodiac (Greek: ζoδιακός, zōdiakos) is the term used to describe the circle of twelve 30� divisions of celestial longitude that are centred upon the ecliptic - the path of the sun. The term zodiac derives from Latin zōdiacus, which in its turn comes from the Greek ζoδιακoς κύκλος (zōdiakos kuklos), meaning "circle of animals". From the earliest of times, the zodiac has been universally used to predict or reflect characteristics of personality, whether from the Chinese, Mesopotamian, Indus Valley, Egyptian or any other culture, echoing the ancient philosophy 'As above - so below'... what we today call astrology. Astrology, in its broadest sense, is the search for purpose in the heavens. The Lascaux Planetarium. Near to the entrance of the Lascaux cave complex is a magnificent painting of a bull.

New Constellation Symbols Calligraphic version | Fixed-width version There are symbols for the twelve classical constellations of the zodiac, which are primarily used for astrological purposes. Two symbols have been proposed for Ophiuchus, the thirteenth constellation of the zodiac - one in general use in Japanese astrology and the other based on the rod of Aesclepius. For the book One Hundred Year Star-Diary, I created symbols for a number of meteor showers. Having created symbols for those constellations, I wondered - could I make symbols for the rest of them? The constellations of the zodiac New constellation symbols Obsolete Constellations and Sub-Constellations Notes for selected constellations: Aquila, Cassiopeia, Delphinus, Orion, Sagitta, Triangulum, Triangulum Australe, Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor all contain very distinctive star patterns.

Earliest sunrises before summer solstice At mid-northern latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, the earliest sunrises of the year happen around mid-June, despite the fact that the summer solstice – the year’s longest day – is still about a week away. And if you live at middle latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere, the earliest sunsets take place around now, even though the winter solstice – the year’s shortest day – isn’t for another week. Top of post: June sunrise at Sands Beach Club in Sea Bright, New Jersey, from our friend Steve Scanlon Photography. For those of you who are privileged enough to be outdoors before one of these early sunrises, you’ll find some of the most beautiful dawn twilights of the year. The exact date of earliest sunrise varies with latitude. So it is for other Northern Hemisphere latitudes. The earliest sunrises come before the summer solstice because the day is more than 24 hours long at this time of the year. Enjoying EarthSky so far?

By means of hand-colored maps and moveable paper parts (volvelles), Petrus Apianus (1495-1552) laid out the mechanics of a universe that was earth- and human-centered. Within three years of Apianus's book, this view was challenged by Copernicus's assertion that the earth revolved around the sun, making this elaborate publication outdated. Popular Sixteenth-Century Scientific Work Cosmographia (1524) by German mathematician Petrus Apianus (1492-1552) provides a layman's introduction to subjects such as astronomy, geography, cartography, surveying, navigation, and mathematical instruments.

Ophiuchus- The “New” Astrological Symbol - Ancient History Blog Ophiuchus- The “New” Astrological Symbol It seems like a lot of changes have been going on in the cosmos. First, Astronomers talked about Pluto, the planet that was suddenly not a planet. The next discovery came in the form of an announcement that a “new” Zodiac symbol had been discovered. This new Zodiac symbol was believed to have thrown the entire system on its head. What many people do not realize is that Ophiuchus is far from being a “new” Zodiac symbol. The name Ophiuchus actually means “serpent bearer” in Greek. Each of the Zodiac constellations has a story or symbol that goes along with it. Another theory is that the symbol represents a Trojan priest named Laocoon. Still other possibilities for Ophiuchus include Apollo wrestling with a python, and Phorbas. There are several significant stars in this constellation.

Mars, Saturn and the Moon Align During Perseid Meteor Shower Tonight Skywatchers in will be able to witness a celestial "summit meeting" this week as the moon, Mars and Saturn converge in the south-southwest evening sky. It's a perfect illustration of what the late Kenneth L. Franklin, former chief astronomer at New York's Hayden Planetarium, called our "dynamic and ever-changing sky." Such an eloquent description will certainly fit the sky this week as darkness falls. For the past few months, Mars and Saturn have been prominent in our evening sky. On Thursday evening, many stargazers may be prepping for an all-nighter to watch for the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. As the sun sets, sky viewers in the Northern Hemisphere will see, in the south-southwest sky, a large triangle formed by a waxing gibbous moonand the planets Mars (orange yellow, brightness magnitude minus 0.6) and Saturn (yellowish, magnitude 0.3). Saturn appears as a steady golden "star" when night begins. Mars is much closer to Earth, at a distance of 73 million miles (117 million km).
astrodrama The Far Side of Astronomy Note of thanks to Sherene.. :) Cang Long of the East - Chinese In ancient Chinese star maps, there is a constellation of a huge dragon.

The White Tiger, “Bai Hu” occupies the western horizon when the Big Dipper is right overhead. The Red Phoenix “Zhu Niao” or “Zhu Que Xing” is a group of faint stars to the south of the Big Dipper. “Xuan Wu” is the image of a black turtle intertwined with a snake.

Tropical & Sidereal Zodiac Systems by Jagdish C. Maheshri The Earth, while orbiting around the Sun in its elliptical trajectory, also rotates around its North-South axis. The plane of its orbit around the Sun is tilted with the plane of Earth's rotation about its North-South axis by about 23 1/2 degrees. The Earth's rotation around itself is from West to East (eastward) once every 24 hours. As a result, the Sun appears to rise in the East in the morning and set in the West in the evening. When observed through successive nights, the stars in the sky will appear to move from East to West. The spherical space around the Earth (at anytime we see only a part of it) is called the celestial sphere. The lines perpendicular to the Celestial Equator passing through the Celestial Poles are the circles. As the Earth orbits around the Sun in its elliptical trajectory once every year, the Sun slowly appears to move from South of the Celestial Equator towards North in the Northern Hemisphere in the earlier part of the year (January through March).
