BOB #1 Constellation

The Constellation of Helix is one of the more famous and well known constellations among people throughout the ages. It is seen the best in islands in the Pacific Ocean.  The constellation resembles a shell. Shells  were very important to tribal people as decorations, food sources, ceremonial artifacts, and served religious purposes.  Ancient tribes of people consulted the constellation in regards to issues ranging from choosing a new leader to predicting the amount of food available.  It is said that when the center star glows strongly, good things will happen.  In tribal mythology the constellation resembles the flow of water and life.  It is said that souls congregate within the shell in preparation for a new life.
The Helix plays an important role in the stories told within the tribes.  Their heroes were often disciples of Helix and followed its glow on the way to their victories.  Villains scorned the constellation and turned away from its light.  These stories were often told to children so that they would grow up to be honest, humble individuals.  Hunters took the stories even more seriously as the constellation helped them find their way home.
