Leo CONSTELLATION Introduction
The Lion, a Powerful, virosous, dominating beast. The King of The Jungle. The Lion and his pride pounces on all preys that throw caution to the wind. It's sharp teeth and claws rip into its victims with the power humans could never dream of producing bare-handed. The Lion is the symbol of Power, Courage, Leadership and other alpha domination traits. We see The Lion in the stars of Space which we call the Constellation Leo. Location Leo was one of the first recognized Constellation with evidence of its knowledge dating back 4000 B.C. Mesopotamia. The galaxies that Leo is a part of are Messier 65, Messier 66, Messier 95, Messier 96, Messier 105 & NGC 3628. Leo is made of many different individual stars. The name of those stars are: Denebola, Wolf 359, Gamma Leonis, K2-18, Delta Leonis, Epsilon Leonis, Zeta Leonis, Theta Leonis, Mu Leonis, Lambda Leonis, Omicron Leonis, Eta Leonis, Kappa Leonis, Iota Leonis, R Leonis, MACS J1149 Lensed Star 1, Gliese 436, CW Leonis, K2-3, Frosty Leo Nebula, Rho Leonis, AD Leonis SDSS J102915+172927, 89 Leo, Liste nicht bestätigter Einträge im Index Catalogue, BD+20 2457, ψ Leo, ω Leo, PSR B0943+10, 83 Leonis, Nu Leonis, HD 99109, HD 100777, 20 Leonis, Sigma Leonis, HD 100655, Chi Leonis, 35 Leo, 23 Leo, Pi Leonis, NGC 2912, 45 Leonis, 6 Leonis, 22 Leo, 45 Leonis, 6 Leonis, 22 Leo, 18 Leonis, 2 MASSI J0937347+293142, 15 Leonis, 39 Leonis, Gamma Leonis A, Gliese 402 & 3 Leo. Tropical Astrology has The Sun as the constellation Leo from July 23rd to August 22nd. Sidereal Astrology has The Sun as the constellation Leo from August 16th to September 17th. As of 2002 in The Sun appears in the constellation Leo from August 10th to September 10th. Meaning Leo is Latin for Lion. In The Classical World, Leo represent The Nemean Lion that was slain by The Greek Hero Heracles; Roman Hero Hercules; as one of his twelve labors as in written in The Traditional Classical World Religion and The Traditional Roman Religion. The symbol for Leo is ♌︎. The mane of Leo, The Lion is the formation of an asterism known as The Sickle. The Sickle is similar in vision of that of a backwards question mark. Conclusion The Leo, The Lion, represents Power and Strength and courage. If one is to be successful and virtuous and righteous thou shalt take up the trait of The Lion lest thou be a coward and run and be of vice and not of virtue. Stand tall and not let thy enemy walk on thy feet for the day will come that thou shalt triumph through perseverance. Be as The Lion, bold and strong and The King.

Introduction
There is an array of all kinds of Star and Star things. This list includes Supernovae, Solar Stars, Red Giants, Blue Giants, Red Supergiants, Blue Supergiants, Neutron Stars, White Dwarfs, Black Dwarfs, Brown Dwarfs, Planetary Nursery, Planetary Nebula and Black Holes. There is still one type of Star we hath not discuss so far. That star is, The Red Dwarf. Small Red Star A Red Dwarf is the smallest and coolest star in The Main Sequence Star Stage. It's red, as we see by its name. It's spectral class is L0 to L2, giving it the red light. It has a small mass, approximately 7.5 percent of The Sun's mass. Type M red dwarfs have maximum temperature is 3900 Kelvin or 3626.85 degrees Celsius or 6560.33 degrees Fahrenheit. Type K red dwarfs have a maximum temperature of 5200 Kelvin or 4926.85 degrees Celsius or 8900.33 degrees Fahrenheit. Due to a red dwarfs small stature, it produces a small amount of fusion rates and pressure which leads to it having such a low temperature. This does help it live longer than other types of stars. For example, A Solar Star, like our Sun, lives around 10 Billion Years while a Red Dwarfs lives for 100 Billion Years. The life of Red Dwarf compared to The Solar Star is tenfold! Red Dwarfs last longer than the current age of The Universe, 13.8 Billion Years, Incredible! Red Dwarfs in The Universe. There are an estimated 80 Billion Red Dwarf Stars in The Universe. 20 Billion of those are Binary and the other 60 billion are single stars. A few of these stars are TRAPPIST-1, Proxima Centauri, Barnard's Star, Lacaille 8760, Gliese 581, Wolf 359, VB 10, Teegarden's Star, EBLM J0555-57, AD Leonis & Teide 1. Conclusion Red dwarfs show us that being small doesn't always put thee in a disadvantage. Sure, their size leads to lower temperatures, less awe, and less intrigue; but what is does have is longevity. Red Dwarfs outlive their other star counterparts by far. That's an advantage I bet we all would like to have. Introduction
The Stars in the night sky. Man hath look upon their glory such the dawn of humanity. The wonders, the intrigue, the fascination with the unknown drove this species to exit the planets grasp and reach the realm in which these shining gods of light reside. Though we are far from reaching these stars, that does not mean we know nothing of them and have formed beliefs around them. Astrology Astrology is a religion and/or pseudoscience formed based on the belief that human events on Earth are determined by the events occuring in Space. Astrology is Astronomy before Astronomy was around. It was the beliefs that brought about the formations of star pattern recognition known as constellations. The zodiacs comes from these constellations. The Zodiacs signs are Leo, Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius, Libra, Cancer, Pisces, Aries, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Taurus & Gemini. Constellations There are way more Constellations than Zodiacs, in fact there are 88 Constellations in our night sky. That is quite a large margin, the difference being 76. A few of the Constellations are Draco( Dragon), Leo(Lion), Ursa Major(Big Dipper), Ursa Minor(Little Dipper), Orion, Canis Major, Canis Minor, Capricornus(Capricorn), Scorpius, Lyra, Aquila, Cassiopeia, Centaurus, Delphinus, Crux, Monocerus, Lepus, Lupus, Perseus, Leo Minor, Pictor, Fornax, Hydrus, Corvus, Sextans, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Octans, Triangulum, Columba, Apus Serpens & Puppis. Now for what exactly Constellation is. A Constellation is a group of stars in the night sky that form an imaginary patterns that form shapes of recognizable objects on Earth, Like Leo a Lion, Ursa Major, a Big Bear, Scorpius a Scorpion, Canis Major a Big Dog & Draco a Dragon. Constellations are now exactly Astronomy, but they are Space related however. Even if the patterns are anything significant scientifically, it is still something we observe in Space from Earth. Conclusion Seeing patterns is important. Without patterns, we could not come up with conclusive conclusion on anything around us absolutely. If hot stove makes your food cold sometimes and hot sometimes, than there is no pattern, something is wrong and we simply do not know why. Patterns and repetitions is what make something work in The World. It how we can predict what will happen to our Sun or to a Red Giant. Without absolute patterns we cannot determine what is likely to happen in the future. And even though constellational pattern do not predict anything, what it does do, is help us recognize patterns which helps us find patterns that do matter. No patterns, no science. Introduction
Energy, its what moves us, what keeps us going, what gives us Aloha. Energy is what gives things without Aloha The Power to work via physical or chemical means. Energy can be potential and kinetic. Energy is what makes The World go round. All these things have energy, but what energy Powers The Universe? Dark Energy The Power of Universe and its expansion in the largest scales is Dark Energy. We cannot see it nor can we feel it, but it is there. It was there in the beginning and will be there if there is an end. Dark Energy was discovered when Supernovae measurements were being made, however the expansion was not at a constant rate. The expansion was not constant, it was expanding. The recognition of this expansion being something new than the regular forms of energy or matter was needed since these Classical forms of energy could not explain the acceleration rate of the expansion. Hence this new form of energy would be known as Dark Energy. Dark Energy is very thorictical since we cannot straight up observe it like we can a star, a planet or now even a black hole. As of now, Dark Energy is believed to be not very dense and uniformed. The only force it is known to mess with is Gravity. The Four Forces from weakest to strongest is Gravity, Electromagnetism, Weak Force and Strong Force. Evidence Now of course, with any theoretically non-concrete claim, there needs to be strong evidence in order for it to even be considered real or believable. There are three main pieces of evidence for the existence of Dark Energy. The first is, what i explained earlier, The theoretical need for such an energy to be present and existent in order for the explanation of the accelerated rate of expansion. There needs to be something to explain why this manner occurs. Now we all know that in the past, this hasn't alway been an effective tool in predicted why something happens the way it does. Some examples of this are, one, in Ancient China, the peoples believe that a Solar Eclipse was a Dragon eating The Sun. They use to yell at it to go away, and it did. Except, The Whole Dragon covering The Sun wasn't true. We know now that this occurs via The Moon blocking The Sun's light from The Earth. Another example is that child sacrifices would bring good fortune to a people. This despicable event had nothing to do with whether the crops would grow well or that there wouldn't be a huge flood or not. We now know these things came about due to nature and its climate and weather and etc. This first piece of evidence isn't the strongest but good thing for us, there two more pieces of evidence for the existence of Dark Energy. The second composition of evidence is distance measurements and there red shift that implies that The Universe has expanded more it the second half of its life. Red Shift, occuring to the Oxford dictionary definition is "The displacement of spectral lines toward longer wavelengths (the red end of the spectrum) in radiation from the distant galaxies and celestial objects." This Red Shift growing longer in wavelength form is evidence of an unseeable force causing it to do so. The third and final main piece of evidence for the existence of dark energy are measures of large-scale wave-patterns of mass density in The Universe. The evidence for dark energy may not be as strong the evidence of black holes are, but the evidence is still strong nonetheless. Conclusion Just because we cannot see something does not mean it isn't there. Atoms for example for the longest time not observable, they still exist though. Can we see the wind? Can we see needle in a haystack at first glance, can we see our consciousness? My point being that, we do not always need to directly observe something to know that it is there. If you have dog and you are looking at them and then look away for 3 seconds, does your dog not exist for those three seconds you not observing its presence? Now there is a theory that states that the answer is Yes and No at the same time, but will dive into that theory in a way far in the future article. However, to put it in simple terms, yes, your dog is still there for those three seconds and yes, the wind does exist. Remember, we can never be too sure about something, for even our own eyes and memories can deceive us. We must look at the evidence and use reason, logic and science to determine our beliefs in what exist, otherwise we could still be screaming at Sun-Eating Dragons. |
