How do you know the name of the star, the constellation of the star?

There are many celestial bodies in the sky, planets, stellar (mostly) moons, meteors, etc.

For example, the bright star of Lyra is Vega, the representative bright star of Aquila is the Cowherd, and Sirius is the brightest star of Canis Major. Here are a few ways to recognize stars and constellations, which landlords can take a look at:

1.Chart. When you first know the starry sky, you will always be confused by the stars in the sky, you can use the paper star map, easy to carry, the starry sky of the four seasons is different, the star map of the four seasons is different, the landlord can print the star map online, it is best to know one or two easier constellations and then spread to other directions of these constellations to know other constellations, 2

Star Software. Stellarium, this software is very suitable for novices, it is very vivid, it can imitate the local sky at that time, and you can know the constellations and stars of the sky at this time.

Stargazing Guide", this show has a total of 4 episodes, introducing the starry sky at different times, very specific, and the landlord can also go to see it.

Hope it helps.

Some people can name some stars and constellations at once, that is, they have a considerable degree of observation and familiarity with the starry sky. As long as you go out to watch the stars more often, compare them with the star charts, memorize them properly, and master some formulas and ways to find the stars, you will soon be familiar with the brilliant starry sky above your head and gradually become a master. Those who are just getting started can install a mobile planetarium on their mobile phones, or star map software such as Starwalk, so that they can easily know the names and constellations of the stars when they pick up their mobile phones and face the starry sky.

In short, we should be diligent in observation and focus on practice and persistence. Happy stargazing!

1. Vega: Vega, also known as Vega I or Lyra, is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, located about 25 light-years from Earth. Due to its extremely high rotation speed, it appears distinctly oblate spherical, with an equatorial radius 19% greater than the polar radius.

2. Cowherd Star: River Drum II, that is, the famous "Cowherd Star", "Aquila Constellation", also known as "Altair" or "Great General", is called "Hikoxing" in Japanese. The twelfth bright star of the day, white. In starry sky observation, it is a corner of the summer triangle.

3. Old Man Star: The Old Man Star is the base of the ship, about 310 light years away from the solar system. It is second only to Sirius in brightness among stars and the second brightest star in the whole day. The Old Man Star was an auspicious star in the eyes of the ancient Chinese.

4. Sirius: Also known as Canis Major, it is the brightest star in the whole day except the Sun, but it is darker than Venus and Jupiter, and brighter than Mars most of the time. Sirius generally refers to Sirius A, whose main system consists of a blue-white blue dwarf and a blue white dwarf.

5. Neptune: Neptune's apparent magnitude is about equal, and it needs to be observed with the help of an astronomical telescope. Neptune is blue to the naked eye, and Westerners named it after Neptune, the god of the sea in Roman mythology.

When Li Shanlan and others translated "Talking Heaven" in 1859, their Chinese translation was Neptune.

1. Mars (English: mars; Latin: martis; Astronomical symbols:

It is the fourth closest planet to the Sun and the second smallest planet in the solar system after Mercury, and is one of the four terrestrial planets in the solar system. The West calls Mars, the god of war in Roman mythology, also known as the "Red Planet."

2. Mercury (English: mercury; Latin: mercurius), the ancient Chinese name Chenxing, the author of the Western Han Dynasty's "Historical Records of Tianguanshu" Sima Qian found from actual observation that Chenxing was gray, associated with the Five Elements Doctrine, and named it Mercury with black water.

3. Neutron star (neutron star) is the densest star except for black holes, stars to the end of evolution, after the occurrence of supernova ** through gravitational collapse, it may become one of the few endpoints, the mass of the star that can form a black hole collapses at the end of its life to form a star between a white dwarf star and a black hole, its density is quite many times greater than the density of any matter on the earth.

4. Halley's Comet (periodic comet catalog number: 1P Halley) is a periodic comet that orbits the Sun once a year and can be seen with the naked eye. It is named after the English physicist Edmund Halley (1656-1742) who first measured his orbital data and successfully predicted the time of return.

5. Venus (English, Latin: venus, astronomical symbol: ) is the second planet from the sun outward among the eight planets of the solar system, with an orbital period of heaven, and no natural satellites. Venus was known in ancient China as Taibai, Xingxing, or Dahuan.

1. Venus.

Venus, one of the eight planets in the solar system. In order of distance from the Sun, it is the second, the astronomical unit of distance from the Sun. The orbital period is Earth Day.

Venus, which is the closest planet to Earth (sometimes Mars is closer). It appears in the eastern sky early in the morning called "enlightenment"; In the evening, it is called "Chang Gung" and is located on the west side of the sky. It reaches its brightest point just before sunrise or after sunset, and its brightness is second only to the moon in the night sky.

2. Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest and fastest-rotating planet among the eight planets in the solar system, and the fifth farthest planet from the Sun. It has a mass of one-thousandth the mass of the Sun and a mass of the other seven planets in the Solar System combined. Since Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all gas planets, they are also called Jupiter-like planets (Jupiter and Saturn are called gas planets).

3. Mars. Mars is one of the eight planets in the solar system, the fourth planet in the solar system from the inside to the outside, and belongs to terrestrial planets. The diameter is about 53% of the Earth, the mass is 11% of the Earth, and the surface gravity is about 2 5 of the Earth. The inclination angle of the axis of rotation and the rotation period are similar to those of the Earth, with an average Martian day of 24 hours and 39 minutes and seconds, and one revolution is about twice the time of the Earth's revolution.

Mars is orange-colored in the surface of the earth's hematite (iron oxide) Mars is the dominant planet of Aries in Western horoscopes, (not the dominant planet of Scorpio).

4. Saturn. Saturn, one of the eight planets in the solar system, ranks sixth in the solar system in terms of distance from the sun. Saturn is a gas giant, ancient Chinese people called Saturn the imperial star, and ancient European Greece called it star-architecture. There are 82 confirmed moons of Saturn, of which Titan is the largest moon in the Saturn system and the second largest in the solar system.

5. Uranus.

One of the eight planets of the solar system, it is the seventh planet (astronomical unit) in the solar system from the inside out, and its third largest planet in the solar system (larger than Neptune) and fourth most massive (smaller than Neptune), orbiting the Sun almost horizontally (the cover is taken by Voyager 2 when it flew closest to Uranus**).

The knowledge and images obtained from books or horoscopes alone do not enable us to truly understand the constellations. Each constellation must be observed over and over again, and only through regular and continuous practice can you become familiar with the constellations in the sky. Eighty-eight constellations appear in the sky in turn throughout the year, so it is not possible to know the constellations overnight, but to observe them regularly throughout the year to remember.

There are many books on how to know the constellations, so I won't repeat them here. Here are just a few tips that are easy to overlook, I hope you can be of some help.

1. Choose a night with moonlight (light damage).

Beginners should choose a night when the weather conditions are not the best to start recognizing the stars, because on a clear night with moonlight or in the condition of thin clouds, the dark star will be hidden due to the obscuring effect of the moonlight, and the brighter main star in the constellation is left, that is, the star that should be recognized first when you know the constellation. City lights or thin clouds can also achieve the effect of "thin moon stars", but too thick clouds or under street lamps will overshadow the starlight, which will hinder the learning of star recognition. Although Taipei City is recognized as a city with serious light damage, it is the best place for beginners to recognize stars, as long as they are not standing under a mercury lamp, clear and cloudless nights are a good time to learn about the stars.

Second, start from the north sky.

We live in the Northern Hemisphere, so the constellations near the North Pole are on the horizon all year round and can be found almost after dark, so it is convenient to use the constellations in the northern sky as a benchmark to find other constellations. For example, the Big Dipper (in the constellation Ursa Major) can be seen in spring and summer, and Cassiopeia can be seen in autumn and winter. Get to know these two signs first, and you can easily identify the other signs on any stargazing night.

3. Recognize from the big constellations.

The big constellations are usually the ones with bright stars, and these bright stars are obvious characteristics that can be used as indicators of the constellation. In addition, the large constellations usually have mythological stories to refer to, which is helpful for identifying and remembering shapes. Therefore, these zodiac signs are not easy to forget after recognizing them.

Small constellations are mostly composed of dark stars, which are not easy to find, and it is difficult to confirm the position and shape, which will cause frustration and fatigue for beginners and lose interest in learning.

4. Determine the position of the planets with reference to the astronomical calendar.

Planets are a nuisance for beginners because they are constantly moving their positions on the celestial sphere, so the constellation charts do not show the planets' positions; However, the brightness of a planet is often higher than that of ordinary stars, and if there is a planet in a constellation, the planet will often become the obvious object in the constellation, or even the brightest object in the constellation. This often makes it difficult for beginners to recognize the constellation. Therefore, it is necessary to consult the astronomical almanac or astronomical almanac to know whether there are planets in the constellation to be recognized, so as to recognize the constellation smoothly.

Finally, it is recommended that you find a friend who knows the constellation to guide you when you look at the stars for the first time, which will allow you to enter the beautiful starry sky faster.

According to the division of our ancestors, the constellations they are located in are: Big Dipper - Beidou, North Star - Hook Chen, Cowherd Star - River Drum, Vega Star - Vega Girl.
