From the star regions recorded in "Wu Xiang", we can know that due to the precession of the equinoxes, the South Pole of the period described in the book is not consistent with the current South Pole. Based on this, it can be inferred that what is recorded in the book is the starry sky 2000 years ago; at the same time, the blank area of the starry sky record indicates that the observer should be around 35° to 36° north latitude. Therefore, some people believe that the practice of dividing the starry sky into constellations originated in the Babylonian and Sumerian periods in Mesopotamia, and that the Greek and Egyptian constellations may have been introduced from this region.Several constellations, such as the Great Bear and Orion, are mentioned in the Book of Job; and the land boundary stones built during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar I in the 12th century BC are engraved with patterns of Sagittarius, Scorpio and Hydra. The Great Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades were also mentioned in the works of the ancient Greek poets Homer and Hesiod (at that time the Pleiades were considered an independent constellation rather than part of Taurus), while the twelve zodiac constellations were recorded in Babylon in cuneiform writing during the same period. By the second century AD, Ptolemy recorded 1,022 stars in 48 constellations in his Almagest, which is also the prototype of modern constellations. Later, many astronomers filled the gaps in Ptolemy's constellations with new constellations; Baye in 1603, Hevelius in 1690, and Lacaille in 1752 successively named the constellations in the southern sky within two centuries. |
