Constellation Phoenix (The Firebird)

Phoenix or The Firebird is one of the 88 constellations modern astronomers have divided the sky into. It's part of the Bayer constellation family. Phoenix is best seen in November (from latitudes +30° to -90°)

This constellation represents the mythical bird that supposedly was reborn from its own ashes. The death and rebirth of the phoenix are seen as symbolizing the daily rising and setting of the Sun. Nine main stars make up its shape with Ankaa being the brightest star. This star is located 85 light years from Earth and its name means ‘the Phoenix’ in Arabic. The myth of the Phoenix is found in Roman, Egyptian, Asian, Greek and Persian cultures.
