Constellations in Mathematica

Mathematica has data on stars and constellations. Here is Mathematica code to create a list of constellations, sorted by the declination (essentially latitude on the celestial sphere) of the brightest star in the constellation. constellations = EntityList["Constellation"] sorted = SortBy[constellations, -#["BrightStars"][[1]]["Declination"] &] We can print the name of each constellation with Map[#["Name"] &, sorted] This […] The post Constellations in Mathematica first appeared on John D.
