 88 modern constellations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Equirectangular plot of declination vs right ascension of the modern constellations with a dotted line denoting the ecliptic.
Constellations are colour-coded by family and year established. (detailed view)

Many cultures divide the stars of the night sky into their own set of constellations, usually based
on mythology. This article covers the 88 constellations used in modern astronomy, which properly speaking
are not patterns of stars, as in the common use of the word, but areas of the sky (the celestial sphere), and
include the constellations of the zodiac.
The ancient Sumerians, and later the Greeks (as recorded by Ptolemy), established most of the northern
constellations in international use today. When explorers mapped the stars of the southern skies, European and
American astronomers proposed new constellations for that region, as well as ones to fill gaps between the
traditional constellations. Not all of these proposals caught on, but in 1922, the International Astronomical
Union (IAU) adopted the modern list of 88 constellations.[1]After this, Eugène Joseph Delporte drew up precise
boundaries for each constellation,[1] so that every point in the sky belonged to exactly one constellation.

History[edit]
Main articles: History of the constellations and Former constellations

Some constellations are no longer recognized by the International Astronomical Union, but may appear in
older star charts and other references. Most notable is Argo Navis, which was one of Ptolemy's original 48
constellations.

Modern constellations[edit]
The 88 constellations depict 42 animals, 29 inanimate objects and 17 humans or mythological characters. For
help with the literary English pronunciations, see the pronunciation key. There is considerable diversity in how
Latinate names are pronounced in English. For traditions closer to the original, see Latin spelling and
pronunciation.
