Such a question we all need to start from the source of the constellation, it is said that the ancient people in every time looking up at the starry sky, in order to identify the starry sky, so they will be adjacent to some of the brighter stars in the starry sky to a piece, imagined into some shapes, and these by different stars combined, the image of different shapes has become a constellation, and also these constellations have been given some myths and legends.
In the anime work "Saint Seiya", the constellation names and myths and legends used are mainly derived from the myths and legends of ancient Greece, which is different from the constellation division of our ancient China, which mainly divided the starry sky into three constellations, four elephants, and twenty-eight constellations.
Greek myths and legends of the constellations mainly originated in ancient Babylon, in the 1000 BC or so ancient Babylonians have defined more than 30 constellations, and later after the ancient Babylonian culture spread to ancient Greece, ancient Greek astronomers in the Babylonian constellations based on the supplement and development, the compilation of the ancient Greek constellation table, and the 2nd century AD ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy is on the basis of the past to compile 48 constellations, that is, the more primitive Ptolemaic 48 constellation table.
At the 1928 Congress of the International Astronomical Union in Leiden, the Netherlands, the whole day was divided into 3 celestial zones and 88 constellations, of which 29 constellations were in the northern celestial sphere, 47 constellations in the southern celestial sphere, and 12 were in the celestial equator and ecliptic.
Of these 88 constellations, there are basically 48 constellations of Ptolemaic, except for the southern constellation, which is divided into three constellations: the base of the ship (keel), the constellation of the stern (aft deck loop deck), and the constellation of vegan (sail).
In the anime work "Saint Seiya", the constellations of the five little strongmen are all Northern Celestial Constellations except for the Constellation phoenix, which is the Southern Celestial Constellation. The position of the constellation Phoenix in the starry sky is south of the constellation of Taufu, north of the constellation of Cuckoo, between the constellation of Poe and Aquila, and more closely, the area between the two bright stars of the constellation of Australopithecus and the Water Commission of the Constellation of Poe.
The reason why the constellation of Phoenix did not appear in ancient Greek mythology is mainly because this constellation was named by the German amateur astronomer Bayeux in 1603, as a southern celestial constellation, such a constellation is only possible to be seen by people in the tropics and the southern hemisphere, for the ancient Babylonians and ancient Greeks, due to the latitude, it is basically a blind spot for observation, and in the southern hemisphere every year on the 4th of October, the geometric center of the phoenix will pass through the middle sky.
There is also a meteor shower in the constellation Of phoenix, which was discovered by observers in the southern hemisphere in 1956, probably occurring from December 1 to 5 of each year, except for the first time in 1956 when the ZHR value reached 100 and several small outbreaks later, the ZHR value is generally 1-5, and it is generally believed that the meteor shower in the constellation Phoenix is related to comet Comet Blanpain (1819 IV = 2003 WY27).
