At the Paris Observatory, Leslie discusses the last two constellations with the class.
Leslie: Perseus was named after a Greek God named Perseus. It is one of the 48 ancient constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy and among the 88 modern constellations defined by the International Astronomical Union. Also, who slew the Medusa and rescued the princess Andromeda from the sea monster Cetus?
Class: Oooooooh.
Ivan: Are all Constellations named after Greek Gods?
Leslie: Hmm... some are. Not all of them.
Ivan: Wow.
Leslie: There's a little-known fact about Perseus. The Perseus Constellation is the 24th largest constellation in the sky, and it stretches for 615 square degrees. Now, the last constellation is Draco. Draco is a constellation in the far northern sky. Its name is Latin for dragon. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy and remains one of the 88 modern constellations today. The north pole of the ecliptic is in Draco. The Egyptians saw Draco as a hippopotamus or crocodile, representing gods and goddesses who appeared in the forms of those animals. Greek and Roman mythology have many legends about dragons and serpents, but two especially are connected with Draco. One story is Zeus's battle against his father, the Titan Cronus. *The students were looking at the constellation and were fascinated by that. * One fact about Draco is Draco is the ninth largest constellation, occupying 1,083 square degrees.
Ms. Myers: Interesting.
Leslie: Yes, that's the wonderful life of Space. Space is really big and there's a lot of stuff that hasn't been discovered.
Ms. Myers: Interesting. Thank you, Lessie for sharing interesting facts about the planets and constellations.
Leslie: You're welcome. Hopefully, you'll come back again real soon.
Ivan: My parents are planning on going to the Planetarium soon.
Leslie: That's good to hear. Hopefully, I'll see you again too. *Ivan grinned at Lessie. At College Francoise DuPont, after gym class, it was time for Social Studies. *
Mr. Thomas: Today, we will talk about Japanese culture. But before we get started on the Japanese culture, let me just explain to you all about Japan. *He pulled down the map of Asia. * Japan is an island country in East Asia. It is situated in the northwest Pacific Ocean and is bordered on the west by the Sea of Japan, extending from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north toward the East China Sea, the Philippine Sea, and Taiwan in the south. There is a lot of culture in Japan, the culture of Japan has changed greatly over the millennia, from the country's prehistoric Jōmon period to its contemporary modern culture, which absorbs influences from Asia and other regions of the world. *Kim yawned and stretched his arms out. *
