I want a or more websites addresses about constellations. Must be complete, and it's better if the website have some informations about the history or mythology. I also want to learn it, and easy way to know the stars (what the star's name, etc). thx if you wanna to answer me.|||There are lots of great mythology/constellation books.
Picking out constellations without a human guide just from maps can be tricky, but it is doable. You are best off with a planisphere for your latitude.
Constellation maps: http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constel鈥?/a>
Planispheres: http://www.skymaps.com/store/cat04.html
Here are stories of the traidtional greek constellations: http://www.ufrsd.net/staffwww/stefanl/my鈥?/a>
There are many other mythologies from other cultures however.
There are a few native american stories in here: http://www.northern-stars.com/Native_Ame鈥?/a> however searching for a book in a library or on amazon will give you a much better sampling. No doubt you can find Chinese stories too if you look around.
Many stars have multiple names, but a good planisphere or book about constellations will name some of the stars with their unique (non catalogue) names.|||I love astronomy and hopefully these sources will lead you in the right direction.|||I think this site is useful for you .
