Author: John Hickey Updated: 7:30 PM EDT April 13, 2021 Constellations are patterns we make out of stars in an area of the sky.
That s John Sabia.
We had an online chat about the history of constellations.
The Egyptians had constellations, the Chinese, Europe had them but they weren t uniform. That s why in 1930 the International Astronomical Union devised the maps for where the constellation boundaries are, said Sabia.
Constellations come in all shapes and sizes. These patterns of stars are named after various things, animals, people, mythological people, hair, there s even a fly out there.
There are 88 constellations in all but something separates a dozen of them from the rest.
After decades spent fostering interest in the wild beauty of the universe, âCoopâ took his place among the heavens.
A fixture at Keystone College and founder and namesake of the Thomas G. Cupillari â60 Astronomical Observatory, the longtime physics, math and astronomy teacher died Sunday morning after a year-long battle with cancer, his family said. He was 81.
âKnown affectionally as âCoopâ to almost all who met him, Professor Cupillari was loved and respected by everyone at Keystone for his work educating students in the classroom and at the (observatory) in nearby Fleetville, which he founded and directed for so many years,â college spokesman Fran Calpin said in a statement. âHe was a true Keystonian and exemplified the values of Keystone each and every day. He will be greatly missed by all.â
