Orion Constellation

The Orion Constellation, one of the most well-known constellations, takes its name from the hunter Orion in Greek mythology. Therefore, the Turkish name of the Orion Constellation is known as the "Hunter" Constellation. Orion is a very skilled hunter and with this ability he attracts the attention of the gods in Olympus. Artemis, known as the goddess of hunting, is very impressed by Orion's ability and offers to hunt together. Orion accepts this offer. After their hunt together, Artemis praises Orion to all the gods in Olympus. Orion is stunned by these praises. The next day he goes hunting again and hunts everything he sees and presents it to Artemis. Artemis gets very angry at this behavior and pulls a scorpion out of the ground. Orion dies after being stung by a scorpion. Zeus sends Orion to the sky as a constellation for his services. This is thought to be why the constellation Scorpio is visible only in summer and the constellation Orion is only visible in winter.

Ursa Major and Ursa Minor Constellations

Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, also known as the Ursa Major and Ursa Minor Constellations, are two of the most well-known constellations. These constellations are formed when Callisto and Arcas, the lovers of Jupiter, who have an equal position with Zeus in mythology, are transformed into bears by Hera. Callisto and Arcas are father and son. Callisto symbolizes the Constellation Ursa Major, while Arcas symbolizes the Constellation Ursa Minor. Located in the constellation Ursa Minor, the Pole Star is one of the most recognizable stars.

Constellation Scorpius

Scorpius, the Scorpio Constellation, takes its name from the scorpion that stung Orion, which we mentioned before in the story of the Orion Constellation. It has a red appearance due to stars such as Antares and Betelgeuse in the Scorpius Constellation. That's why the Constellation Scorpius is quite often confused with Mars.

Taurus Constellation

Another well-known constellation is the Taurus Constellation. Titan Atlas rebels when the gods take control of the universe, but his rebellion fails. Thereupon, Zeus punishes Titan Atlas with carrying the sky forever. Titan Atlas' daughters Merope, Alcyone, Celaeno, Electra, Sterope, Taygete and Maia are devastated by this punishment. Zeus felt sorry for these seven sisters and sent them to the sky as a constellation to be closer to their father. Only six of these stars can be observed when looking at the Taurus Constellation. It is thought that the unseen star is Electra and that she is hiding its light in response to this punishment given to her father.

Canis Major and Canis Minor
