1.

A constellation (from the Latin constellatio) is a set of fixed stars or unrelated stars that form an imaginary pattern. They are separated into arbitrary groups into which the fixed stars have been divided.

Our modern constellation system comes from the ancient Greeks. The oldest description of the constellations as we know them has its origin in a poem, called Phaenomena, written around 270 BC by the Greek poet Aratus. ... These 48 formed the basis of Our modern constellation system.

WHO DISCOVER IT:

Phaenomena

2.

Currently, the North Star in the northern hemisphere is α Ursae Minoris which, located at the tail end of the Lesser Bear, is also known as Polaris or Cinosura, being the closest to the pole, which is less than one degree. 

Inside the Planetarium it is night, we notice the apparent movement of the sky that helps us orient ourselves, we identify bright stars, we know constellations, ... That is why we ask for your understanding if we cannot offer you free places.

4.History:

The constellation represents the Lion of Nemea, a mythological beast born of Typhon and Echidna, and whose death was entrusted to Hercules in the first of his works. However, Hercules had a lot of trouble killing the animal, as its skin was impenetrable and no weapon could hurt it.

Activity 5

 CREATE A COMPASS

Introduction:

We chose to make the compass because it seemed easier to us and because it would take less time.

Materials:

Cork

Needle

Got

Magnet

Water

Cutter

Marker

Procedure:

1r. I cut a piece of cork.

2n. I stuck a needle in the piece of cork.

3r. Then we put the letters N O S E on the cork.

4t. I fill my glass with water

5th. I put the cork in the water to see where it was pointing.

Results:

At the end the cork stopper pointed north.

Name	Tycho Brahe	Nicolás Copérnico	William Herschel	Johannes Kepler	Edwin Hubble
Date Of Birth	December 14, 1546	February  19, 1473	November, 15, 1738	December 27, 1571	November  20, 1889
Main thought	Tycho Brahe proposed a model in which the Earth was at the center of the Universe, but with the planets revolving around the Sun.	The celestial movements are uniform, eternal, and circular or composed of different cycles (epicycles). The center of the universe is near the Sun. ... The retrograde motion of the planets is explained by the motion of the Earth.	Herschel observed an unrecorded object that at first glance looked like a comet: studying it carefully, he was soon able to determine that it was actually a new planet, Uranus.	Kepler tried to understand the laws of planetary motion for most of his life. At first Kepler considered that the movement of the planets had to comply with the Pythagorean laws of harmony	Edwin Hubble's early work at the Mount Wilson Observatory focused on the study of what were then known as nebulae. ... It was clear that some nebulae were in the galaxy and that they were basically starlit gas within it.
