Spot Gemini, The Celestial Twins

Tonight we'll take advantage of the improving weather to look at Gemini, The Twins Castor and Pollux of ancient Greek mythology immortalized in the sky.

To find Gemini, look South-West around 8:30 pm. You can use Orion as a guidepost, look just above his shoulder to find the outline of Gemini.

Two stars represent their namesakes, Castor and Pollux, use the accompanying chart to locate them at the top of the crook shape.
