where can you find information on the constelllation Corvus and the stars in the constellation?

I have listed several sites below--I hope they are most helpful to you. :-)\n\nCorvus (Latin for Raven/Crow) is a small southern constellation with only 11 stars visible to the naked eye (brighter than magnitude 5.5). It was one of the 48 constellations listed by Ptolemy, and also counts among the 88 modern constellations.\n\nSome stars and interesting objects in Corvus\n\na (alpha) Corvi or Al Chiba is a magnitude 4.0 white star 68 light years away.\n\nb (beta) Corvi or Kraz is a magnitude 2.7 yellow giant star 290 light years away.\n\ng (gamma) Corvi or Gienah is a magnitude 2.6 blue-white star 190 light years away.\n\nd (delta) Corvi or Algorab is a wide double star 120 light years away. The brightest component visible to the unaided eye, is a magnitude 3.0 white star, that is accompanied by a magnitude 8.4 star often described as purplish in colour.\n\nNGC 4038 and NGC 4039 are called the Antennae or Rat tailed or Ring-tailed galaxies. They are two galaxies in collision, and photographs show two tails of stars ejected from the interaction. The system is a strong radio transmitter. At magnitude 10.5 a reasonable telescope and dark skies are needed to see this. The rat tails are not visible in telescopes.\n\nNGC 4782 and NGC 4783 are also two small elliptical galaxies in contact. The similar components with bright centres, appear in a field sprinkled thinly with faint stars. Photographs show diffuse material connecting the galaxies. At magnitude 11.7 a reasonable telescope and dark skies are needed for viewing these galaxies.\n\nNGC 4361 is a planetary nebula with a visible central star. Only the central star can be seen in small telescopes, but larger telescopes will show the haze surrounding the star. An OIII filter effects a small improvement.\n\nJust over the border of Corvus in the constellation Virgo lies the famous Sombrero galaxy, M 104. It is a spiral galaxy with a large nucleus and a dense lane of dust lying about 35 million light years away.

Listed is a site that has a variety of information on the history of telescopes, including information about Keplerian Telescopes. Also try using Wikipedia.

From the reference listed below:\n\nIn 1913 Henry N. Russell was the first to plot the absolute magnitude vs. the spectral types. He latter collaborated with Eignar Hertzberg to develop Russell - Hertzberg diagram which relates the brightness of stars to it's temperature. Russell found that the stars do not randomly fall on the graph, but tend to congregate in restricted domains.\n\nMost of the congregational stars are dwarfs belonging to what is called the main sequence. They range from hot blue objects 10,000 or more times brighter than the Sun, down through the A stars such as Procyon, through the sun down to K stars and finally to the faint red dwarfs thousands of times fainter than the Sun.

Look on Wikipedia.  Start with Rome, and if you are referring to the Collisseum, just search for that.  There is a lot of information there.

This is one of the thousands websites out there,\n\nhttp://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/constellationmonth_list.html\n\nThis is a very good star map program plus can download additional catalogs. Totally freeware!\n\nhttp://www.stargazing.net/astropc/\n\nThis is also a freeware, Celestia, it is a space flight simulator. Awesome.\n\nhttp://www.shatters.net/celestia/index.html

The best I can do is point you to an article on wikipedia which seems quite informative:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversalis

The North Star is a title of the star best suited for navigation northwards. A candidate must be visible from Earth and circumpolar to the north celestial pole. The current one is Polaris. It is the star at the end of the "handle" of the constellation Ursa Minor.\n\nThe North Star has been historically used by explorers to determine their latitude. At any point north of the equator the angle from the horizon to the North Star (its altitude) is the same as the latitude from which that angle was taken. For example, the angle to the North Star for a person at 30° latitude will be about 30°.\n\nPolaris has a visual magnitude of only 1.97. On the other hand, in 3000 BC the faint star Thuban in the constellation Draco was the North Star; and at magnitude 3.67 it is five times fainter than Polaris. The bright Vega will be the North Star by AD 14,000. In comparison the brightest star, Sirius, has a magnitude of −1.46 (assuming that we exclude the Sun at −26.8).\n\nCurrently, there is no South Star as useful as Polaris; the faint star σ Octantis is closest to the south celestial pole. However, the constellation Crux, the Southern Cross, points towards the south pole.
