Produktinformationen zu „Chinese Constellations “
Klappentext zu „Chinese Constellations “
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Chinese constellations are the way the ancient Chinese grouped the stars. They are very different from the modern IAU recognized constellations. This is due to the independent development of ancient Chinese astronomy. Ancient Chinese skywatchers divided their night sky into 31 regions, namely the Three Enclosures and Twenty-eight Mansions. The Three Enclosures occupy the area close to the North Celestial Pole. The stars in the Three Enclosures can be seen all year around. The Twenty-eight Mansions occupy the zodiacal band. They can be considered as the equivalent to the 12 zodiacal constellations in the Western Astronomy. In contrast to Western astronomy, the Twenty-eight Mansions reflect the movement of the Moon in a lunar month rather than the Sun in a solar year.
