PIX4594016: Constellation of Sextant - Constellation of Sextans - Constellation of Sextant; below part of the constellation Hydra. At the top of the picture, the bright star is Regulus, of the Lion. Sextans, and part of Hydra. Top of image, the bright star is Regulus in Leo. Sextans, (the Sextant, originally Sextans Uraniae), is small, faint, equatorial constellation south of Leo, framed by the bright stars Regulus to the north and Alphard to the west. It was introduced by Johannes Hevelius in 1687 to commemorate the instrument with which he continued to measure star positions for long after the telescope had been invented. This small and insignificant constellation measures a little more than 17 degrees on a side (about 313 degrees square) and is ranked 45th in area out of the 88 modern constellations. In contrast is the winding collection of stars that make up the head of the Hydra, the Water Snake. This is the largest constellation in the sky, extending over 1300 square degrees, and though the stars that make up the head are rather faint, they are together on the sky and quite distinctive / Bridgeman Images

PIX4594065: Constellation of Taurus - Constellation of Taurus - Taurus, (the Bull) is one of the most ancient constellations, and appears in artefacts as old as western civilisation itself. The bull is still a figure of strength and fertility in cultures around the world. In the sky the distinctive 'V' shape of his head and long horns tipped by beta (ss) and zeta Tau is easily recognised. If the purpose of the horns was in doubt, the English name for ss Tau is Alnath, meaning 'the butting one'. The bull's glowing red eye of Aldebaran completes the picture, and its location between the delicate Pleiades and the aggressive stance of Orion makes Taurus hard to overlook. Despite its masculine connotations, the constellation is rich in female icons; both the Hyades and Pleiades star clusters are daughters of Atlas and both are important astronomically. The Pleiades (or the Seven Sisters) are a group of young stars at a distance of about 440 light years and on long exposure photographs are seen to be embedded in dust which reflects their light as a blue haze. The Hyades is much closer, and at 150 light years distant is the nearest open cluster to the Sun. However the bright star Aldebaran is much closer (65 ly) and is a chance alignment. Without it there would be no bull in Taurus. Probably the most interesting object in Taurus is M1, the Crab nebula, the remains of a star that exploded in the year 1054BCE / Bridgeman Images
