Crumby's Telescope Tomfoolery Notes - All the Celestial Constellations Grouped Taxonomically
Introduction
Both Lleu Llaw and me, the Crumby Ovate are taxonomic thinkers. So we worked up a taxonomic grouping for the various constellations as an aid to our perusal of their naked splendor.
All the Celestial Constellations Grouped Taxonomically
Group I - Artifactianus
Most of these are tools, that is, simple machines working together as a team. However, two crowns are included. Also, there’s a poop deck, a complex musical instrument and a simple musical instrument.
Antlia
Ara
Caelum
Carina
Circinus
Corona Australis
Corona Borealis
Crater
Crux
Fornax
Horologium
Libra
Lyra
Microscopium
Norma
Octans
Pictor
Puppis - This one might actually belong in Mammalianus.
Pyxis
Reticulum
Sagitta
Scutum
Sextans
Telescopium
Triangulum
Triangulum Australe
Vela
Total 26-27 artifacts
Group II - Amphibianus - Maybe
Obviously, the amphibians are not well represented in the sky.
Cetus - maybe
Lacerta - maybe
Total 0-2 amphibians
Group III - Avianus
Apus
Aquila
Columba
Corvus
Cygnus
Grus
Pavo
Phoenix
Tucana
Total - 9 birds
Group IV - Ichthyologiianus
Capricornus is half fish, half mammal.
Capricornus - maybe
Cetus- maybe
Dorado
Pisces
Piscis Austrinus
Volans
Total 4-6 fish
Group V Invertianus
Cancer
Cetus - maybe
Musca
Scorpius
Total 3-4 Bugs or bug like
Group VI - Mammalianus
This is the largest group. Many of the human or proto human mammals in this group are doing something by way of a trade. For example, Bootes is herding.
Andromeda
Aquarius
Aries
Bootes
Camelopardalis
Canes Venatici
Canis Major
Canis Minor
Capricornus- maybe
Cassiopeia
Centaurus
Cepheus
Delphinius
Equuleus
Gemini
Hercules
Indus
Leo
Leo Minor
Lepus
Lupus
Lynx
Monoceros
Ophiucus
Orion
Pegasus
Perseus
Puppis - This one is sometimes included in Artifactianus.
Sagittarius
Taurus
Ursa Majoris
Ursa Minoris
Virgo
Vulpecula
Total 32-34 mammals
Group VII - Miscellanianus
Coma Berenices
Mensa
Total - 2 whatever
Group VIII- Reptilianus
Cetus - maybe
Chameleon
Draco
Hydra
Hydrus
Lacerta - maybe
Total 4-6 reptiles
Later
Last night early, ere the clouds came along, Lleu Llaw Guffes and I, Crumby the Ovate assayed to test out our new taxonomy to see if it had any practical application. So Lleu Llaw says, "Crumby pick out a couple of the groups at random and I shall then guide the great red tube verily toward a representative of each group that is handy to my steady hand."
So then, I Crumby, ovated randomly on a couple of the groups. Now listen up. When you're doing science, its always important to start out an experiment, randomly. That's why I ovated randomly and not prejudicially. So the two groups I randomly picked out, ovationally, happened by chance to be, Artifactianus and Reptilianus.
Mercy! In two shakes of one of Ray's naughty lambs' tails, Lleu Llaw had Lyra, a complex musical instrument, one of the artifacts, in fact, visual in the twain sighting mechanisms of the great red tube. So we espied parts of the Lyre, which is generally thought to be the first of the complex musical instruments. According to the out of print Golden Skyguide, the particular lyre up yonder may be the Lyre of Orpheus.
What about Pan's Pipe, Crumby? Pan's Pipe may have pre-dated the Lyre.
Let's not go there Lleu Llaw. I have heard enough relating to the randy antics of the Artiodactylans, total or partial, for the nonce.
The next stop on our random celestial journey turned out to be Draco in Group Reptilianus. Lleu Llaw also found the anterior of the Dragon, expeditiously. The droll spell pertinent to dragons in the out of print Golden Skyguide, is "Dragons have abounded in mythology for 5,000 years and are useful if you want something guarded." Yep, that's true. Dragons like to guard stuff, treasures especially. But they are also useful for heraldry, the Welsh flag, knight errantry and population control. Interestingly, dragons seem to prefer stupid meals.
So we espied the noggin of Draco the Dragon until the clouds obscured Draco's noggin. Actually, those particular clouds may have been by-products of Draco's fiery innards, belched out by the dragon from annoyance at our close perusal. Which was indeed close. For twixt Rastaban and Nu, that may correspond to the the eye and a hearing mechanism, respectively, is an interesting little binary that may correspond to something located between the two previously described organs.
However, the hot, sulfurous breath of Draco the Dragon soon obscured all. Put this gear up Lleu Llaw, please, while I go into the laboratory and do some research.
All righty then, Crumby.
