    SCIENCE 9

    MISS MELANIE L. CORONA


    •Have you seen patterns in the
    sky at night?
    •Due to the difference in apparent
    magnitude of the stars, you are able
    to see patterns in the sky and these
    patterns are called constellations.
    •The word constellation from
    the Latin word “con” means
    Group and “stella” means
    stars.
    • The more recognizable patterns of
    stars are known as asterism.
    • Big Dipper is an example of an
    asterism that is in the constellation
    Ursa Major.
    • This history of constellation is passed from
    generation to generation including the beliefs
    about sun and moon, however due to some
    circumstances this information about stars
    were not preserved. As of today, we have 88
    constellations that astronomers studied and
    most of these stars are based on Greek
    groups
    • There are billions of stars in the
    night sky and stargazing could be
    an exceptional way to explore it.
    • Stars are distant celestial bodies from
    Earth and Sun is the nearest star.
    • Stars and constellations are visible
    depending on the location of an
    observer and the season in that place.
    •Why do stars appear to
    move in the sky?
    • This is because Earth rotates on its
    axis, thus the stars appear to move
    across the night sky from east to
    west, and the sun seems to rise in the
    east and set in the west.
    •The stars that are close to
    celestial poles, appears to
    move a little in the night sky.
    • Polaris is the North star because it
    is located close to the north
    celestial pole.
    • People living in the northern or
    southern hemisphere can observe
    constellation that are to the north or
    south of Earth, while those in the
    equator can observe constellations
    depending on their distance to the
    equator.
    •As the Earth rotates around the
    sun the visibility of
    constellations changes
    throughout the year.
    As shown in the illustration of celestial sphere, people in the northern hemisphere
    can see Ursa Minor throughout the year but this constellation not visible to those in
    the southern hemisphere.
    •Why do we see different
    constellations at different
    times of the year?
    • This is because the Earth orbits around the sun
    from west to east making the star seems to rise in
    the east and set in the west.

    • The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes the


    observed movement of the stars in the night sky
    while the revolution allows the observer to see a
    certain part of the sky at different months of the
    year.
    • There are some constellations in Northern and Southern Hemisphere
    that varies from March to December. The constellations that are visible
    from late March to late June (Northern Spring/Southern Autumn) are
    listed as follows:
    • Late June to late September (Northern Summer/Southern
    Winter):
    • Late September to late December (Northern
    Autumn/Southern Spring):
    • Late December to late March (Northern Winter/Southern
    Summer):
    ASSIGNMENT
    •Identify the names of the following
    constellations.
