Capricorn means "horned goat" in Greek.
Capricorn got it's name by fighting Typhoon (a monster that could manipulate water) and then got the name from one of the gods. Then got placed in the sky.

∙ 11y agoAll the constellations are attempts to organize the stars for recognition. Capricorn doesn't look much like a sea-goat to most people (few of the constellations closely resemble what they're named for) but someone felt it was just close enough to help them remember it.
There isn't any real consistent legend about why there should be a goat-fish in the sky. Capricornus has been variously identified with Amalthea, the goat that the young Zeus suckled from (since his father, Cronos, wanted to kill him, his mother Rhea couldn't very well feed him herself) and as Pan, who once transformed himself into a sort of mer-satyr and dove into a river to avoid the monster Typhon.

∙ 8y agoA story behind the constellation Leo is that it represents the Nemean Lion, which was known to have impenetrable skin. Hercules killed it and it was placed the heavens as one of his conquests.

The reason is that the Earth orbits the Sun. The night sky varies mainly
because the Sun appears in different areas of the sky during the year.

Why does the sun appear to be so different from the other stars in the sky?
Because it is the closest star to the earth and it can be seen so easily.
If a star in a constellation explodes what will happen to the constellation?
If a star in a constellation explodes, it may appear different in the night sky depending on the brightness and location of the explosion. The overall shape of the constellation may remain recognizable, but the appearance could be altered.
Why pole star looks stationary while all other stars appear to move?
As the Earth spins on it axis, the stars appear to move across the sky as we see them from the Earths surface. The pole star does not shift much from its position throughout the night though. This is because the axis about which the Earth is turning is pointing in its direction, towards the north (and out towards the south too).
Is there any stars that flash different colours?
Yes, there are stars known as variable stars that can change color as they vary in brightness. One example is the star Betelgeuse, which has been observed to fluctuate in both brightness and color over time. These color changes can provide astronomers with valuable information about the star's internal processes.
Which property of a main-sequence star gradually decreases throughout the star's life?
Mass of hydrogen
What makes a star's spectrum appear to be different from another stars?
The chemical composition of the star.
Where can one find information on all of the different ships appearing in the Star Wars movies?
Many Star Wars focused encyclopedias provide information on all of the ships that appear throughout the movie franchise. Wikipedia and the StarWarsPedia are some of the better sources as they are documented by fans of the series.
Where is it possible to get different modules in Starmade?
Star Made is a video game made for Windows and Mac based computer systems. Modules are acquired throughout various areas of the game, which can then be used to build a better spacecraft.
What makes the stars appear in different color?
The temperature of the star itself - and Earth's atmosphere.
Can a star be a planet?
No, a star and a planet are two distinct celestial bodies. Stars are massive spheres of gas that produce light and heat through nuclear fusion, while planets are smaller bodies that orbit around stars. Stars generate their own energy, while planets reflect the light of their parent star.
How many times is star mentioned in the bible?
Actually the Bible was written in many different languages. The english word Star does not appear once in the original text.
How star are different stages in their life cycle appear on the H-R diagram?
Stars in different stages of their life cycle appear in different regions of the H-R diagram. For example, main sequence stars, where our Sun is located, occupy a diagonal band. Red giants are located in the upper right of the diagram, while white dwarfs are in the bottom left. Supernovae and neutron stars are found in the upper left.
Why do hot and cold stars appear the same?
They don't. Other things being equal (especially if the size and distance is the same), a hotter star will appear brighter, and in a different color.
Why does the sun appear to be so different from the other stars in the sky?
Because it is the closest star to the earth and it can be seen so easily.
Why do emission nebulae appear red when they surround blue stars?
Emission nebulae appear red when they surround blue stars because the blue stars emit high-energy ultraviolet radiation which ionizes the hydrogen gas in the nebula, causing it to emit red light through a process called hydrogen-alpha emission. This red light is more prominent than the blue light emitted by the stars, giving the nebula its red color.
What Star Wars Movie did yoda not appear?
Yoda did not appear in the original Star Wars, A New Hope.
Why were stars used to know where to go?
Because from Earth, the constellations appear to be consistent in shape, and are thus identifiable by eye. Some, like the North Star, are in a consistent position throughout the year.
