The
Book of Constellations : Discover the Secrets in the Stars
This fascinating narrative recounts the
history of astronomy and, with more than 100 full-color
illustrations, it shows readers how to find the planets and
constellations in the night sky. In ancient times, people
thought that the Sun, Moon, and stars were gods. They
recorded their movements and imagined that the stars made pictures
in the sky. The Greeks and the Romans related these "pictures" of
animals and men�or constellations � to their legends.
They also identified planets and named them for their gods � Venus,
Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter. Their observations marked the
first step in the development of astronomy, which today
is a sophisticated science. Modern astronomers have
followed the tradition of naming heavenly bodies after ancient
gods. For instance, the solar system's outer planets
weren't identified until after the telescope's invention, but with
their discoveries they were named after Uranus, a Greek
god of the sky . . . Neptune, the Roman god of the sea .
. . and Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld. The
author recounts the legends connected with many constellations,
including Aquarius, Aries, Cancer, Orion, and others.
This beautifully illustrated book helps readers navigate their way
around the night sky as they learn the significance of heavenly
bodies' names. Color photos and illustrations throughout.
