Noctua: The Extinct "Owl" Constellation
Noctua: The Extinct "Owl" Constellation
Historically, there was an owl constellation named Noctua (Latin for night owl)
Introduced by astronomer Alexander Jamieson in 1822, it was located in the southern hemisphere, perched on the tail of Hydra the water serpent (near the borders of Libra and Virgo) - Spica - Ati (Atiati). 51 degrees of precession ago = the Age of Atena (Aries).
In 1922, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) standardized the 88 official constellations used today and decommissioned Noctua. Its stars were reabsorbed into Hydra and Virgo
Just when Carter was opening ''Tut's'' tomb (really Matria's).
the Owl Cluster (officially NGC 457) - an open star cluster located roughly 7,900 light-years away within the official constellation Cassiopeia. This constellation appears in the 40k years old European script.
Two exceptionally bright, vivid stars (Phi-1 and Phi-2 Cassiopeiae) form a pair of unmissable glowing "owl eyes"
the specific stars that make up its famous "W" shape (including the primary star Schedir, or Alpha Cassiopeiae), they are all conjunct early-to-mid Taurus
the Owl Nebula is located in the northern constellation Ursa Major (The Great Bear, near the Big Dipper). This is conjunct Virgo.
