If you’re seeking for the ideal birthday present for a Pisces in your life, naming a star after them in the Pisces constellation could be the answer.
If you’re thinking about naming a star in the Pisces constellation, here are some science and mythology facts to help you out!
Science
Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, one to the north and the other to the west. A cord connects the two of them.
The two fish are thought to be the Greek goddess Aphrodite and her son, Eros – though we’ll get to that later.
Pisces is a huge V-shaped constellation in the Northern Hemisphere, located in the first quadrant. Despite being a huge constellation, it is difficult to notice due to the large area it spans and the dim stars it contains. While the month of Pisces occurs in late winter/early spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is only visible in the very early phases of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.
The brightest star in Pisces is Eta Piscium, also known as Alpherg or Kullat Nunu. It is 294 light-years away from Earth and 316 times brighter than the sun.
‘Van Maanen’s’ Star is likewise in Pisces, named after Adrian van Maanen, a Dutch astronomer who discovered it in 1917. It is the 31st closest star system and the closest solitary white dwarf to the sun, at only 14.1 light-years distant. (The practice of naming a star appears to date back many years.)
Interestingly, the Hubble Space Telescope discovered a pair of dwarf galaxies dubbed Pisces A and Pisces B within the constellation. After monitoring the two, researchers discovered some intriguing information: they travelled to a nearby group of galaxies throughout time, speeding up the pace of star creation.
What the galaxies Pisces A and Pisces B can show us about what dwarf galaxies looked like in the past.
But why are two fish linked with Pisces? We must return to the ancient Greeks and an ancient mythology to comprehend this.
Myth
Legend has it that the mythological events surrounding this constellation occurred near the Euphrates River. This suggests that the story was modified from an even older story passed down from the Babylonians to the Greeks. But let’s get back to the story.
The Olympian Gods had won the battle. Even though the Titans had been defeated, there were still people plotting their demise while the Gods sat safely.
Typhon, son of the Titan Tartarus, and Gaia, enraged by the Olympians’ actions, set out to exact ultimate vengeance and finally overthrow the Olympians.
Typhon was the most terrifying creature the earth had ever seen; he was so dangerous and strong that even Gods were afraid to confront him.
Typhon came saw Aphrodite and Eros (Venus and Cupid in Roman mythology) as they were wandering along the Euphrates River.
Despite many other casualties during the Typhoon, the Olympians emerged victorious.
Zues set the fish among the stars to commemorate the victory, and they became the constellation of Pisces.
That is a fascinating story. However, there’s an intriguing tale about Pieces that suggests a 2000-year-old cover-up!
Some believe that the constellation Pieces may hold the answer to Jesus Christ’s identity!
Conspiracy?
According to one view, the Christ figure did not originate as a Jewish Rabbi speaking in Galilee, but rather from pagan astrology.
According to one theory, Jesus was born as an avatar of the Pisces constellation, a figure who was supposed to represent the movement of the sky at the commencement of the Age of Pisces. The activities of the early Christians, who utilized the fish as a symbol of Jesus, provide evidence for this.
It should be highlighted that, while intriguing (and divisive), this is highly unlikely to be the case. So, why does the fish figure appear so frequently in early Christian art?
Because early Christians were persecuted, they couldn’t openly declare their faith. As a result, a fish was utilized as a symbol for Jesus. This is because ICHTUS, the Greek word for fish, stands for Iesus CHristos Theou Uios Soter, which means ‘Jesus Christ Son Of God the Saviour.’
So there’s no big conspiracy here; just a misunderstanding of symbol origins and what they mean to different communities at different eras.
