Glossary term: 寶瓶座

Description: 寶瓶座是黃道帶上相對較暗的星座,而黃道帶是指與黃道(由地球繞太陽運行的軌跡所確定的平面)相交的那部分天空。因此,從地球上看,我們會發現太陽和行星經常落在寶瓶座中。就太陽而言,這發生在每年2月底到3月初(當然,那時我們看不到寶瓶座中的恆星)。寶瓶座是國際天文學聯合會定義的88個現代星座之一,但其歷史可以追溯到更久遠的年代——它是公元2世紀的天文學家克羅狄斯·托勒密(Claudius Ptolemy)命名的48個星座之一。

Capricornus appears as a downward pointing isosceles triangle. The ecliptic runs through the center from WSW to ENE

Capricornus Constellation Map

Caption: The constellation Capricornus (commonly called Capricorn) including its bright stars and surrounding constellations. Capricornus is surrounded by (going clockwise from the top) Aquarius, Aquila, Sagittarius, Microscopium and Piscis Austrinus. Capricornus lies on the ecliptic (shown here as a blue line), this is the path the Sun appears to take across the sky over the course of a year. The Sun is in Capricornus from mid January to mid February. The other planets of the Solar System can often be found in Capricornus. Capricornus lies just south of the celestial equator and is visible to all observers south of the Arctic Circle. Capricornus is most visible in the evenings in the northern hemisphere autumn and southern hemisphere spring. In the south east (lower left on this diagram) of the constellation one can find the globular cluster M30 (shown here as a yellow circle with a plus sign superimposed on it). The y-axis of this diagram is in degrees of declination with north as up and the x-axis is in hours of right ascension with east to the left. The sizes of the stars marked here relate to the star's apparent magnitude, a measure of its apparent brightness. The larger dots represent brighter stars. The Greek letters mark the brightest stars in the constellation. These are ranked by brightness with the brightest star being labeled alpha, the second brightest beta, etc., although this ordering is not always followed exactly. The dotted boundary lines mark the IAU's boundaries of the constellations and the solid green lines mark one of the common forms used to represent the figures of the constellations. Neither the constellation boundaries, nor the line marking the ecliptic, nor the lines joining the stars appear on the sky.

寶瓶座看起來像一系列蜿蜒相連的線條,其輪廓綿延展開。黃道從西南偏西(WSW)方向延伸至東北偏東(ENE)方向,貫穿了寶瓶座的中心。

雙魚座呈現為指向西南的V字形,每條線的末端都帶有一個環。黃道從西南偏西(WSW)方向延伸至東北偏東(ENE)方向,貫穿了雙魚座。

雙魚座星圖

Caption: 雙魚座及其明亮恆星與周邊星座示意圖。從頂部開始沿順時針方向,雙魚座周邊的星座依次為:仙女座、飛馬座、寶瓶座、鯨魚座、白羊座和三角座。雙魚座位於黃道上。從地球看來,太陽以一年為週期在天球上移動,所經過的路徑稱為黃道,在圖中以藍色實線標注。太陽在每年三月中旬到四月中旬位於雙魚座。因此,春分時太陽位於雙魚座——黃道在這裡與天赤道相交,而太陽在春分時的位置即為赤道坐標系中赤經坐標的原點。太陽系中的其他行星也經常出現在雙魚座。 雙魚座橫跨天赤道,因此在地球上的任何地方,一年中的某些時候都能看到它。在地球南北兩極,雙魚座的某些部分可能不可見。雙魚座在北半球的秋季和南半球的春季夜晚最適宜觀測。 宏偉的螺旋星系M74在圖中以紅色小圓圈標注。 該圖的縱軸為赤緯,橫軸為赤經,方向為上北下南左東右西。圖中標注的恆星大小對應其視星等——衡量天體視亮度的標準,較大的圓點代表著較亮的恆星。圖中的希臘字母標注著星座中最亮的恆星。這些恆星按亮度排序,最亮的一般被標記為α星,第二亮的一般為β星,等等,不過這種字母排序並不總是和實際亮度排序完全一致。圖中虛線標注的是國際天文學聯合會劃定的星座邊界,綠色實線則是一種常見的星座形象連線。需要注意的是,在實際觀測時,這些邊界與連線都不會出現在天空中。

Aquila looks like a simplified arrow shape with the head pointing to the lower right (the south west). Altair is in the tail

Aquila Constellation Map

Caption: The constellation Aquila with its bright stars and surrounding constellations. Aquila is surrounded by (going clockwise from the top): Sagitta, Hercules, Ophiuchus, Serpens Cauda, Scutum, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius and Delphinus. Aquila is most notable for its brightest star Altair. This forms one vertex of the prominent Summer Triangle asterism that is visible in northern hemisphere summer evenings. Aquila spans the celestial equator and thus some part of it is visible from all of the Earth at some point in the year. It is most visible in the evenings in the late northern hemisphere summer and late southern hemisphere winter. The y-axis of this diagram is in degrees of declination with north as up and the x-axis is in hours of right ascension with east to the left. The sizes of the stars marked here relate to the star's apparent magnitude, a measure of its apparent brightness. The larger dots represent brighter stars. The Greek letters mark the brightest stars in the constellation. These are ranked by brightness with the brightest star being labeled alpha, the second brightest beta, etc., although this ordering is not always followed exactly. The dotted boundary lines mark the IAU's boundaries of the constellations and the solid green lines mark one of the common forms used to represent the figures of the constellations. The blue line in the lower right of the diagram is the ecliptic. Neither the constellation boundaries, nor the line marking the ecliptic, nor the lines joining the stars appear on the sky.

Delphinus looks like a diamond with an additional small line extending to the south

Delphinus Constellation Map

Caption: The constellation Delphinus with its brighter stars and surrounding constellations. Delphinus is surrounded by (going clockwise from the top): Vulpecula, Sagitta, Aquila, Aquarius, Equuleus and Pegasus. Delphinus is a relatively small constellation with few bright stars. Delphinus lies just north of the celestial equator and thus the whole constellation is visible at some point in the year to all but the most antarctic regions. The constellation is best viewed in the evenings in the early northern hemisphere autumn and early southern hemisphere spring. The globular cluster NGC 6934 lies in Dephinus. It is marked here with a yellow circle with a plus sign superimposed on it. The y-axis of this diagram is in degrees of declination with north as up and the x-axis is in hours of right ascension with east to the left. The sizes of the stars marked here relate to the star's apparent magnitude, a measure of its apparent brightness. The larger dots represent brighter stars.

Pegasus appears as a square with lines extending west from its western two vertices

Pegasus Constellation Map

Caption: The constellation Pegasus with its bright stars and surrounding constellations. Pegasus is surrounded by (going clockwise from the top): Lacerta, Cygnus, Vulpecula, Delphinus, Equuleus, Aquarius, Pisces and Andromeda. Pegasus is known for the prominent asterism the “Square of Pegasus” which consists of its three brightest stars plus the brightest star in Andromeda. Pegasus is a northern constellation and thus the whole constellation is visible at some point in the year throughout the northern hemisphere. The whole constellation is also visible to southern hemisphere equatorial and temperate zones with parts of the constellation visible from all but the most antarctic regions. Pegasus is best viewed in the evening in the northern hemisphere autumn and southern hemisphere spring. The globular cluster M15 lies in Pegasus and is marked here with a yellow circle with a plus sign superimposed on it. The spiral galaxy NGC 7331 also lies in Pegasus and is marked here with a red ellipse. The y-axis of this diagram is in degrees of declination with north as up and the x-axis is in hours of right ascension with east to the left. The sizes of the stars marked here relate to the star's apparent magnitude, a measure of its apparent brightness. The larger dots represent brighter stars.
