Once Long ago the Greeks looked into the night sky and a masterpiece of a Constellation. Besides its gorgeous site they knew it would help people find their way around at night with its tremendously bright stars. They named this constellation Gifts of God, only because the constellation consist of stars who’s name were to be known in the future as basketball phenomenon’s , and because there was never and will never be a constellation as cool as this one when you look in the night sky.
Looking into the night sky you will see a series of stars some yellow some blue, some small some big , but you will never see anything easier to point then the Constellation “Gift of Gods” in the night sky. To find this mind blowing constellation you can simply look into the south sky during the night and see it because of its beautiful site which happens to be in the shape of a half of a basketball and has extremely bright stars. Otherwise you can locate it by finding the North Star and turn exactly 180 degrees and you will pop out at you in the beautiful night sky. One of the main reasons this constellation is famous is because of its stars being so bright, but it is also famous because of the names of the stars .
Gifts of God is made up of four famous stars. The biggest and the brightest star is named Michael Jordan, and is a double supergiant star that is very rare, and on top of being so rare it was formed so long ago that it is towards the end of its life stage. Looking forward into the future astronomers say that it might nuclear fusion and form a new star. Magic Johnson is the name of the mega supergiant star in this constellation it is the only star of its kind, it is old but not as old as Michael Jordan , and should be around for the next 3 decades or so. One of the more unnoticeable stars is Devin Downey, it is a smaller star, and doesn’t have much light and is a still a very young star. In the next year or so, professional astronomers say that it will form into a triple giant star and be the biggest, brightest, and only one of its kind in the night sky. Last but not least the smallest star in the constellation is named J.P. Tokoto, youngest of all stars, astronomers say that in the next five years it will also transform like Devin Downey into a triple giant star, and be the second of that kind. With such interesting names and rarity in the stars it brings up the myth of this fabulous constellations.
Long, Long ago a famous Greek astronomer named Unstoppable looked into the night sky and had never seen anything in his life, that he had just seen before his own eyes. In such astonishment, he had decided to name this magical form of stars Gifts of God, that looks like a half of a basketball in the night sky. It was said that on this night, these series of stars in this constellation were formed earlier that day and were first seen by Unstoppable. Being the first person to see the stars, Unstoppable decided that he would also name the stars in this once in a lifetime constellation. Now Unstoppable was a different kind of person compare to anybody else back then in Greece. People said that he could see into the future centuries after his lifetime. Since he could see into the future he knew that basketball was going to be a extraordinarily sport, and knew whose names would never be forgotten in a wonderful game it would become. Knowing the future of basketball he decided that he would name it’s biggest star Michael Jordan knowing that it he would be the best basketball player in history. He also knew that Magic Johnson at 6’9 and with his abilities would be a player of life time so he decided to name the second biggest star after Magic Johnson. Looking a couple decades later Unstoppable found what a talent Devin Downey would be in the game of college basketball and was so fascinated by his array of skills that he decided to name the third star after what would be a exceedingly player in Devin
Downey. When Unstoppable noticed that none of players he named the stars after came from the Midwest he decided to pick a player from that area. It just so happened that it turned out that the name of the fourth star in his constellation would be named after J.P. Tokoto from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin who is in right now and may be the best player to come out of Wisconsin in basketball history.
Gifts of God is truly a one of a kind constellation. With its variety in stars, location, and its mind boggling myth there’s doubt as to why it has its name as well as its popularity in the night sky.
I like how you named the stars and said what is going to happen to them. My favorite one is the Michael Jordan star because it is so rare.
