Artwork of the constellation of capricorn
Capricornus. Computer artwork of the constellation of Capricornus, with a red line showing its shape in the sky. Capricornus, the Sea Goat, lies just south of the celestial equator, but is still visible to northern observers during early autumn evenings. It is one of the twelve zodiacal constellations, lying between Aquarius and Sagittarius. In ancient times the whole area surrounding Aquarius was associated with water or rain. The Babylonians called it the Sea and populated it with ocean creatures like Capricornus, Cetus (the Whale), Pisces (the Fishes) and Delphinus (the Dolphin), all under the control of Aquarius

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of the constellation Capricornus, also known as Capricorn. Created through computer graphics, this celestial masterpiece depicts the shape of Capricornus with a vibrant red line against a backdrop of stars. Capricornus, often referred to as the Sea Goat, resides just below the celestial equator and can be observed by northern stargazers during early autumn evenings. As one of the twelve zodiacal constellations, it finds its place between Aquarius and Sagittarius in our night sky. In ancient times, this region was associated with water and rain. The Babylonians named it "the Sea" and adorned it with various oceanic creatures like Capricornus itself, Cetus (the Whale), Pisces (the Fishes), and Delphinus (the Dolphin). All these mythical beings were believed to be under the dominion of Aquarius. This mesmerizing artwork not only celebrates our fascination with astronomy but also delves into cosmological symbolism embedded within constellations. It serves as a reminder that there is beauty beyond what meets the eye in our vast universe. Captured by Science Photo Library, this stunning print combines science, artistry, and mythology to offer an enchanting glimpse into the wonders of our stellar world.
