The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic is an asterism in the constellation Taurus that has been known for several thousand years. The constellation is built by the two eye-catching open star clusters of the Pleiades and the Hyades that form the two posts of a virtual gate at the two sides of the ecliptic line. * Golden Gate of the Ecliptic * From lower left to upper right: Sirius (Canis majoris), constellation Orion, constellation Taurus with open star cluster Hyades, planet Mars exactly in the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic, open star cluster Pleiades.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Das Goldene Tor der Ekliptik ist von alters her ein Asterismus im Sternbild Stier. Die Sternkonstellation wird zu beiden Seiten der Ekliptik, ähnlich der Art eines Tores, durch die zwei markanten offenen Sternhaufen der Plejaden und der Hyaden gebildet. Entlang der Ekliptik als scheinbare Bahn der Sonne am Himmel wandern neben dieser auch die Planeten regelmäßig durch dieses Tor, da ihre Bahnebenen nur wenig gegen die Bahnebene der Erde geneigt sind. Lediglich die Bahn des Mondes weicht stärker von ihr ab, sodass der Erdbegleiter die Konstellation regelmäßig auch umläuft. (de)
  • The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic is an asterism in the constellation Taurus that has been known for several thousand years. The constellation is built by the two eye-catching open star clusters of the Pleiades and the Hyades that form the two posts of a virtual gate at the two sides of the ecliptic line. Since all planets as well as the moon and the sun always move very closely along the virtual circle of the ecliptic, all these seven orbiting bodies are regularly passing through the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic. Since the moon is the closest of these heavenly bodies to the earth and it is inclined strong enough against the ecliptic, in some occasions the moon can cover the stars of the open star clusters or even can pass outside of the gate. * Golden Gate of the Ecliptic * From lower left to upper right: Sirius (Canis majoris), constellation Orion, constellation Taurus with open star cluster Hyades, planet Mars exactly in the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic, open star cluster Pleiades.
