The night sky is presently scrutinized with other scopes in mind: we are looking for scientific evidence to support the theory of UFO visitation, we watch major cosmic events through huge telescopes that get to peek in the inner life of the galaxy or we simply feel fascinated by the beauty of the high spheres. Depending on the time of the year when one watches the night sky, different constellations are visible as the Earth orbits around the sun. The map of the night sky as we see it today was first envisaged by the Greek who actually gave the name to many of the constellations.

Given the present condition of our atmosphere, the night sky vision is often blurred because of pollution. One thing is for sure, a large metropolis with lots of industrial activity and plenty of cars running permanently make a lousy astronomy observation spot. Many people claim to have seen the most beautiful of night sky panoramas in the mountains, where the altitude made them feel like they could touch the stars. The purer the air, the better the visibility of the night sky. For those who take a great pleasure in astronomy, the study of the constellations with the help of various softwares and private telescopes is really fun.

Last but not least, the study of the zodiac is directly related to the position of the stars on the night sky. Every sign of the zodiac has an afferent constellation, and its location together with the movement of the planets in the solar system lead to the creation of the horoscope individually, monthly or for the entire zodiac sign. This is actually the astrological explanation why people born under the same sign share a set of similarities. All in all, we have never stopped keeping the eyes focused on the universe, as the interdependence is sometimes more than obvious.
