The Beautiful Canvas.

Whenever I look at the beautiful vault of heaven this song comes to my mind,  "Ye taara woh taara har taara , dekho jisse bhi lage pyaara ".This day human being makes himself so much busy that they don't get time to look and admire the charm of the wild dark yonder.
To most people stars are nothing more than a shining object and the sky just a lid but to me,the sky is a beautiful canvas,where together a group of stars  helps to draw a picture in the sky, assuming one using  some poetic license.Swami Vivekanand once said,believe what you  see,but some of the stars which are familiar to us from their place in asterisms may not exist any more, but it may take millions of years for us to find out, since the light from the star is traveling across such an incredible distance another interesting fact is even though all stars seem to stay in the same place they are moving through space, they are so far away that  the pictures we see always stay at the same place.
It was during the bronze age when most of the constellation we know are established .There are many constellations with which we are familiar came from ancient Greece.Therefore if we look at name of the constellation they have Greek  name .If we look in the newspaper to know  about our zodiac,most of the words we see are greek  words like Leo which means lion,Cancer means crab,Pisces means fish and  many more. It is believe that many societies saw patterns among the stars with deities or stories from their culture. There are also many civilizations who created their own patterns in the sky based on stories and soul that were important to them.


Most of us must have seen the picture of  Big Dipper,this is the third largest constellation in the sky it is also useful one as it is use as a guiding tool for finding other constellations.Using this Big Dipper,we can easily draw the constellations which will look like Little Bear and the Arcturus of Bootes the Herdsman,which looks like a man with a bow,we can easily draw this  on a clear  sky.Using Bootes the Herdsman we can draw a crown,this one is better known as Northern Crown or  sometimes as Corona Borealis .These are the figures anyone can draw just by joining the stars in a proper manner.People living in the southern hemisphere are really  lucky as they can draw picture without the little twinkle.They portray  with the help of  the patches or the band of light from the Milky way.It is better known as the  "dark cloud constellations".As a matter of fact,we can draw any figure the only thing we require is IMAGINATION and TIME.If  we want we can draw any animals or any geometric figure on the sky.As a matter of fact there are constellation whose shape looks like fish,lion,peacock,horse,unicorn,telescope.The shapes I mentioned above are not the only shape we can see actually it depends on our point of view.
I don't understand ,why you are still sitting in front of the"dabba" ,what are you thiniking?go out and draw a magnificent sketch on the beautiful canvas.
