Who hasn’t admired the beauty of the night sky? There is a historical, cultural and religious meaning to the picture mankind has created about the night sky throughout thousands of years of history. Most ancient civilizations devoted a great attention to the study of the sky map and organized their lives and activities respecting the cult of the asters: testimonies about the importance of constellations, stars and celestial bodies are constantly brought by the calenders, the astronomic sites, the cults of the sun and even the myths and legends. And all these start with the belief that Earth is a unitary element in the harmony of the universe. Modern man focuses less on the night sky.
Presently we have other means to study the night sky and different purposes in mind: we are looking for scientific evidence to explain UFO events and life on other planets speculations, we watch major cosmic events with the help of huge telescopes that get an insight of the inner life of the galaxy or we simply feel fascinated by the beauty of the high spheres. Depending on the time of the year when one watches the night sky, different constellations are visible as the Earth orbits around the sun. Many things have been discovered in time, and plenty are waiting hidden ever since the Greeks gave the first name to the constellations.
A major factor that prevents the proper observation of the night sky is pollution. One thing is for sure, a large metropolis with lots of industrial activity and plenty of cars running permanently make a lousy astronomy observation spot. Many people claim to have seen the most beautiful of night sky panoramas in the mountains, where the altitude increases panorama viewing because of the rarer atmosphere. The clearer the sky, the higher the visibility of the night sky. For those who take a great pleasure in astronomy, the study of the constellations with the help of various softwares and private telescopes is definitely rewarding.
One other dimension of the sky night study is the creation of the personal horoscope and the study of the zodiac signs. Every sign of the zodiac has an afferent constellation, and its location together with the movement of the planets in the solar system lead to the creation of the horoscope individually, monthly or for the entire zodiac sign. This is actually the astrological explanation for the resemblances that exist between people belonging to the same zodiac signs. All in all, we have never stopped keeping the eyes focused on the universe, as the interdependence is sometimes more than obvious.
