András Gábor VIRÁGH – Serpens

The Serpent (Latin: Serpens) is a constellation. It is one of the constellations classified as constellations by the Greek naturalist Ptolemy in the 1st century BC. The Serpent is the only constellation that consists of two parts, Serpens Caput (Head of the Serpent) and Serpens Cauda (Tail of the Serpent). The Serpent itself is coiled on the constellation Ophiucus (Serpentus). Interestingly, the two parts are not adjacent to each other, yet they form a constellation. The composition gives sound to the continuous movements of the shapes formed by the stars.
