	List of constellations by area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Here is a list of the 88 modern constellations by their area in the sky, measured in square degrees.
		These areas are determined by constellation boundaries drawn up by Eugène Delporte in 1930 on behalf of the IAU and published in Délimitation scientifique des constellations (Cambridge University Press).
		Delporte drew the boundaries along vertical and horizontal lines of right ascension and declination; however, he did so for the epoch B1875.0, which means that due to precession of the equinoxes, the borders on a modern star map (eg, for epoch J2000) are already somewhat skewed and no longer perfectly vertical or horizontal.

	Constellations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		From around 1600 to 1800, post-Copernican astronomers invented hosts of "modern" constellations from the faint stars that lie between the classical figures, from pieces of ancient constellations, and from the stars that occupy the part of the southern sky that could not be seen from classical lands.
		Constellations, both ancient and modern, are generally meant to honor and represent, not to portray.
		The constellations and their luminaries are linked to the main "Stars" page, the links growing as new descriptions and photographs are added.

	eSky: Constellations
		These are the constellations intersected by the ecliptic (the plane of the Solar System).
		Not until the age of discovery did Europeans see these stars, and the names of their constellations are therefore much less ancient than those of the northern sky.
		Because 'constellations' are officially defined, some well-known star-groups can't, technically speaking, be described with that term.

	The Constellations - Astronomy for Kids
		Constellations have been an important part of human society and folklore since we humans lived in caves, and, probably, even before then.
		These stories, also known as mythology, behind the constellations can be as interesting as studying the constellations themselves.
		In addition to a few of the constellations, we will also give you guides to a few "asterisms", which aren't officially constellations, but are easily recognizable patterns of stars that are either parts of a larger official constellation, such as the Big Dipper, or just good landmarks, like the Summer Triangle.

	The Constellations
		Historically, constellations were groupings of stars that were thought to outline the shape of something, usually with mythological significance.
		Astrology is bunk, but the constellations of the zodiac are still of importance because the planets, as well as the Sun and Moon, are all near or on the ecliptic at any given time; thus, they are always found within one of the zodiac constellations.
		In modern astronomy, the significance of constellations is no longer mythological, but practical: constellations define imaginary regions of the sky, just as the individual states each define an imaginary region of the United States.

		So the three-letter list was Russell’s alone, amended by input from others at the IAU Rome meeting, and Russell’s mention of Hertzsprung’s earlier scheme was a courtesy that was misinterpreted.
		As explained in the introduction to the Harvard catalogue, its northern constellation names were taken from the atlases and catalogues of the German astronomers F. Argelander and Eduard Heis, while the southern constellations came from the corresponding works of B. Gould, an American astronomer who was director of the Argentine National Observatory in Córdoba.
