If doing a #podcast about the #GreekMythology (and #astronomy -- tho this pie chart is decidedly less applicable) of the #constellations, it's this:

Pie chart meme. The title of the pie chart is "Basically Every Greek Myth." The Pie shows a circle that is largely orange with a small slice of blue. The key to the right of the figure indicates orange is "One day, Zeus saw a woman..." and blue is "Anything Else"

And finished. This #jigsaw was not as easy as it looks #astronomy #constellations #space #moon #moonscape

Throw back to our very first #podcast episode where we met TYPHON-- the father of monsters in our retelling of the #myths of the #constellation #Capricornus

Starlit River Awaiting Scorpio

This is a painting of the stars and Milky Way above a river on a dark night. It depicts accurate constellations with Scorpio and Antares about to rise in a black sky along with a crescent moon.

Ignore the bright star trying to steal the show in the foreground -- this is UGC 3855 -- a lovely galaxy located in the #constellation #Lynx 🤩

We did an #astronomy focused episode on Lynx earlier this season: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/cosmic-background-lynx/

And we talked about how it this constellation got its name & our favorite #lynx #folklore here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/lynx-myth-and-retconstellations/

But if your interests are in the #animal instead? Well, we got you too: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/lynx-creature-corner/

$A bright foreground star dominates the upper portion of the frame with diffraction spikes, while the galaxy UGC 3855 stretches across the bottom with a luminous core and swirling bands of dust and bluish star clusters. The black background is dotted with tiny stars and distant galaxies.$

Speaking of #Bears (you know, indirectly when discussing the #constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor) -- this bear has me like :sxn_cute:

"Polar Stars" teableau for 05/03/25

On land they're a Colony;

If at sea, a Raft,

In the sky, they're a Whirl,

And when they're very daft,

We have an Improbability of Puffins

To elicit a laugh.

Here is an oil painting of a glowing cave from a dream, seen at night. In a clearing are stars of constellations Scorpius and Sagittarius. Scorpio is in the dark near the entryway's mystical glow of green light. An orange stream flows in darkness like in a fairytale.

#Cave #stars #Scorpio #Scorpius #Sagittarius #night #dream #constellations #fairytale #mystical #luminescent #OilPainting

Oil painting on canvas of a glowing cave at night emitting yellow green light. A glowing orange creek flows through a small clearing in front of the cave, where dark trees, foliage, and rocks are visible in the dim light. Above is a patch of dark blue sky with stars.

Down under, you can use the Southern Cross to tell time and direction.

Aboriginal Australians are among the world's first astronomers. The southern cross forms part of the Emu in the Sky, a dark constellation, which has featured in storytelling for thousands of years.

Find South Using the Stars
In the southern hemisphere, you can use the Southern Cross (aka “Crux”) and The Pointers constellations to find South.
The chart of the Southern Cross and The Pointers shows a line drawn from the highest star of the cross, Gracux, through the lowest star of the cross, Acrux, and another line drawn perpendicular from Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri, and the two lines marked as roughly south, not far from where the South Pole is marked.
Chart: @DiDoesDigital

Check the Star Clock: Part 1
Imagine a 24-hour clock face. Around 1st April, Crux appears high in the sky at midnight. At the 20 hour mark, it's ~8pm.
The 24-hour clock face has 0 at the top, labelled (midnight), 6 to the right, 12 at the bottom, labelled (midday), and 18 to the left. The Southern Cross constellation is positioned at the 20 hour mark with repeating, fading copies of it clockwise indicating the direction of travel. The chart is labelled 1st April 8pm.
Chart: @DiDoesDigital

Check the Star Clock: Part 2
For each month after April, take 2 hours. At 1st May, if Crux is at the “20” mark, subtract 1 month × 2 hours to get 18: ~6pm.
The 24-hour clock face has 0 at the top, labelled, 6 to the right, 12 at the bottom, and 18 to the left. The Southern Cross constellation is positioned at the 20 hour mark. An arrow points anti-clockwise, labelled "Subtract 2 hours". The chart is labelled 1st May 6pm.
Chart: @DiDoesDigital

You Can Find South and the Time!
Around 1st June, when Crux appears at the “6” hour mark, subtract 2 months × 2 hours to get 2, which means it’s ~2am.
The 24-hour clock face has 0 at the top, labelled, 6 to the right, 12 at the bottom, and 18 to the left. The Southern Cross constellation is positioned at the 6 hour mark. An arrow points anti-clockwise, labelled "Subtract 4 hours". The chart is labelled 1st June 2am.

... um... i think I need this #space evening jacket...

P.S. we've done episodes on all of the #zodiac #constellations here: https://starrytimepodcast.com/episodes

Midnight blue jacket on a mannequin. The jacket has beadwork in silver and blue showing moons, comets, planets, and shooting stars. Along the front center are the zodiac signs glyphs in gold. The Ursa Major constellation is visible on the left shoulder.

Amongst the Stars / Fra le Stelle

I was at the Teatro Anatomico (Anatomical Theatre) today! There's so much to say about it but we'll just concentrate on the ceiling right now. It was built in 1645 by Antonio Levanti. We have Apollo, the protector of medicine, in the centre and he's surrounded by 14 other constellations. Back in the day consulting the heavens was a pretty normal part of medicine. You know, mercury is in retrograde so we should amputate that toe.
Astrology and medicine were intertwined and every part of the body was associated with an astrological sign. The ceiling was a representation of the medicine of the time and also how the human body and the heavens above were intrinsically linked.
Also, huge thank you to the Arabic world and the Middle East because without their knowledge, ancient science and wisdom - we would not have modern medicine! ✨
This photo was taken from on top of the slab/operating table in the middle of the room.

This is NGC 1514 aka the Crystal Ball Nebula -- a planetary nebula -- newly imaged by #JWST

It's in the #constellation #Taurus which we covered in Season 1: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/taurus-the-bull/

$From source in toot: Image description: What looks like a single large, bright star (but is two) shines with bright purple diffraction spikes at the center of a large, diffuse cylinder of gas and dust that is tipped to the right. At the center is a bright pink clumpy cloud that takes up about 25% of the view. The pink region has some holes and diffuse areas. Beyond that are two large rings seen at a roughly 60-degree angle that appear joined at top left and bottom right. The edges are denser, and form shallow V-shapes that go inward. The rings appear orange at top left and bottom right, and are blue at bottom and center right. There is diffuse orange material around the body. The black background of space is speckled with tiny stars and galaxies mostly in blues and yellows. A bigger blue star with spikes is just below and to the left of the central stars, but it is slightly smaller. Areas Webb did not observe are along the top edges, a thin vertical near the nebula at top left, and at the bottom left and right corners.$
