Gemini. Coloured historical artwork of the constellation of Gemini. The constellation is depicted as a pair of twins,one holding a club,the other a flail. Gemini is the third sign of the Zodiac. The Sun is in Gemini between 21 May and 21 June. It is a prominent constellation,famed for the two bright stars which form the twins' heads; Castor (right) and Pollux (left). The Sun's path,the ecliptic,is shown by the black and red line at centre. This artwork is based on a sky map by the Polish-German astronomer Johannes Hevelius (1611-1687),which was published posthumously in 1690 | |
