PIX4589084: Balance Constellation - Constellation of Libra - At the bottom of the picture, the brilliant star is Antares, in the Scorpio. Libra, The Scales is an ambivalent constellation in that it was created by the Romans during the reign of Julius Caesar from the rather empty patch of sky westward of neighboring Scorpius. The ancient Greeks knew the stars of what is now Libra as the Claws of the Scorpion and the star names preserve their ancient origins. The names Zeuben Eschamali, Zeuben Elgenubi and Zeuben Elakrab are besed on the English words for northern claw, southern claw, and the scorpion's claw respectively. The Roman interpretation reflects that of ancient Egypt, where the main stars are known as the northern and southern scales, as in a balance - beam weighting device. Ptolemy and other classical writers refer to the group as both the Scales and as the Claws, and there is a link in this idea to the adjoining constellation of Virgo, where the female figure is sometimes shown as holding the Scales of Justice. Libra is a constellation of the Zodiac, the only one that does not represent some kind of real or imaginary creature. The Sun was in Libra during the (northern) autumnal equinox in Roman times, again adding to the idea of balance between day and night. However, precession has now shifted the point where the Sun moves south of the ecliptic into Virgo / Bridgeman Images

PIX4589225: Constellations de la Compsole, la Machine Pneumatica et les Voiles - Constellations Antlia, Pyxis and Vela - Constellations de l'hemisphere sud Antlia (originally Antlia Pneumatica, the Air Pump) is an unremarkable constellation invented by the Abbe Nicolas de Lacaille in the 1750s. It is hemmed in by the meandering body of Hydra to the north and the sparkling constellations of the Milky Way to the south. It contains a fine planetary nebula, NGC 3132 and a beautiful spiral galaxy, NGC 2997. Pyxis (Pyxis Nautica, the Mariner's Compasse) is the least interesting fragment of the great vessel Argo Navis, dismantled by Lacaille. The other parts are Puppis (the stern), Carina, (the keel) and Vela. Vela (the sails) is best known for the supernova remnant seen on large telescope pictures and the Gum nebula, visible as faint red nebulosity towards the right (west) of the constellation. Best seen in the early evening in March - April Other constellations in the image: Carina, Centaurus, Corvus, Crater, Hydra, Puppi / Bridgeman Images
