Aries

Aries is a constellation in the night sky that represents a ram. It is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac and is located in the northern hemisphere. Constellations are patterns of stars that ancient civilizations noticed and connected to create imaginary shapes or figures. Aries is named after the ram from Greek mythology that had golden fleece.

Stars in a constellation may appear close together from our perspective on Earth, but they can actually be very far apart in space. These stars might not have any physical connection to each other, but they appear grouped together from our point of view. Understanding constellations helps us navigate the night sky and learn about the patterns and movements of stars. Constellations, like Aries, have fascinated people for thousands of years, and they continue to inspire curiosity and wonder about the universe.

The constellation Aries is shaped like a ram's head.
