Satisfactory Essays

The objects that is has been mention above are very important to Gemini’s constellation. Pollux and Castor are the brightest stars known to Gemini. With two brothers, so very close together, they are easy to evaluate. Pollux is said to be brighter and golden in color, while Castor is fainter and white. According to NASA, Zeus reunited the immortal Pollux with his brother by placing both amongst the stars. Pollux from the Earth’s view is 1.14 apparent magnitude, while Castor is 1.98 apparent magnitude. The lower the number, the brighter the star in the night sky. Gemini is bursting with amazing stories and interesting details about the mythology that we have come to love so much. I hope to learn more about it one day.
