The official record says that there are 88 known constellations, and thanks to the help of astronomer Eugène Delporte, boundaries between modern and ancient constellations were devised along vertical and horizontal lines. IAU divided the constellations on the one located celestial, and the one in the northern and southern sky. International astronomical union or shortly IAU described constellation as an area of the celestial sphere grouped in a specific shape from several stars and deep-sky objects. He liked naming them after the technical novelties and not after the animals or creatures from Greek-Roman mythology. His work was based on the research of several navigators from Holland, and later on, confirmed on Bayer’s Uranometria.Īfter the telescope was invented, French astronomer de Lacaille named some of the southern hemisphere constellations that were not spotted or cataloged before. They settle on the sea, East and West wind, and the wind from Africa, together, thick with storms, stir it all from its furthest deeps, and roll vast waves to shore: follows a cry of men and a creaking of cables. Some of them were never cataloged or depicted before, and these documents helped Peter Plancius recognize 12 new southern hemisphere constellations. During their journey, the position of 135 stars was measured. The ship was under Captain Keyser’s command and they went on a mission so the new trade relationships could be created.

knew the use of copper and the horse, worshipped gods of the sky, and were ruled by kings. All begins with the story of a Dutch fleet and their mission to the legendary Dutch fleet journey to the Spice Island. 158 10 Immigrants: Non-Latin Words in the Romance Languages. Later on, many more constellations were discovered from the 15-18th century. He named all of the constellations from his list by creatures or animals from Greek mythology and connected each of them with certain myths. Most of his constellations were known before to the mankind, like the Zodiac family of constellations and the Orion constellation, and there are stories in other cultures and civilizations that are proof of that. Ptolemy created a list of 48 constellations, and most of them were northern hemisphere constellations since he was not able to see all of them from Greece or Europe. His Almagest from the 2nd century was based on the work of previous navigators, astronomers and astrologers, and records from Babylonian times. The first documented and official list of constellations was the one by famous Greek astronomer Ptolemy. It is shown later on that the constellations are much larger than the asterisms in the night sky, and the borders of all constellations were redefined in 1922. The term, however, was not used that often before the 16th century. Her name is akin to the Latin words dium (sky). The word comes from the Latin word constellātiō, which can be translated as “set with stars.” Astrology used this term at first for asterisms that were noted by Ammianus Marcellinus in the 4th century – they believed that all of them have a certain influence on humankind. Diana, in Roman religion, goddess of wild animals and the hunt, identified with the Greek goddess Artemis.

The vehicle will be built in three variants, the Skycat 20, 2 with payload capacities from 20,000kg to 1,000,000kg.

To put it in other words, the holding would look similarly to IAG in Europe, with British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, and Vueling all under the same holding but different managements.A constellation is a group of stars in the night sky that form a specific shape. The Sk圜at hybrid air vehicles, supplied by Advanced Technologies Group, based in Cardington, Bedfordshire, UK, combine lighter-than-air airship technology and air-cushioned hovercraft technology. Additionally, the holding will also have a convertible debt representing a minority interest investment in Chile’s Sky Airline. This holding will bring together Avianca, GOL, Viva Colombia, and Viva Peru, keeping their “iconic brands under the same holding” but maintaining their independent brands, talent, teams, and culture. In May, the shareholders of GOL and Avianca announced the creation of a new holding called Abra Group Limited. Despite the apparent challenges (for instance, fleet inconsistency between the two leading carriers, Avianca with its Airbus A320 family-based fleet and GOL with its Boeing 737 family-based fleet), this alliance could be a smart move in the region. The launch of the Abra Group Limited, composed of Avianca, GOL, Viva Colombia, Viva Peru, and Sky Airline, could shake up the South American market.
