FEATURE ARTICLE
g n i t n cou The practice of looking up, observing the stars searching search for images started thousands of years ago. Moved by imagination, ancient Greek and Roman civilizations found shapes of exotic animals, beasts, heroes, and even common objects in the sky. The twelve signs of the zodiac, for example, came from the Zodiacal Constellations. A constellation is just a group of stars that form a pattern in the night sky that only exists in one’s imagination.
S r a t s
Those patterns represent ancient legends and myths and had very important functions in the past. Constellations were like maps in the sky, helping people to describe the location of the planets in the solar system, to plan the planting of their crops, and also to navigate. It was much easier to find directions if you had the stars as a reference, because they’re fixed points in the sky.
