Under the stars of Brazil

A Flag under the Stars:

The Brazilian flag, with its twinkling stars, not only represents the country's states, but also tells a celestial story. Let's discover its story.

The imperial flag (1822-1889):

This flag is that of the Empire of Brazil, used from 1822 until the proclamation of the republic in 1889.

The green symbolizes the House of Braganza of Emperor Dom Pedro I, and the yellow diamond represents the House of Habsburg of Empress Maria Leopoldina.

The current symbolism:

The flag retained the elements of the imperial flag, adopting them from the flag of the Republic adopted in 1889.

Green becomes the symbol of the Amazon and yellow that of the country's riches.

In the middle, a globe and its starry sky. Each star on the blue background symbolizes the constellations visible from Rio de Janeiro during the proclamation of the Republic on November 15, 1889, which shows the level of precision!

This choice illustrates the union of the country under the same sky, reflecting the harmony and diversity of Brazil.

An Astronomical Vision:

The flag's design, developed by positivists influenced by ideas of order and progress, places each star with astronomical precision that represents the Brazilian states and the capital, Brasília, in their relative position in the sky at that precise moment. This representation makes the Brazilian flag a unique emblem of the national vision and the aspiration for unity.

A festive flag:

So, every time the Brazilian flag is raised, it is not only an act of national pride, but also a celebration of Brazil's cosmic history, a reminder of that moment when under a starry sky , the country has embraced its republican future. This flag remains a powerful symbol of Brazil's rich and complex history, inviting us to look up to the stars to find our own place there.
