For the rocket, see Aries (rocket)'' Aries ( , Latin for ''sheep Ram'') is one of the constellations of the zodiac. It lies between Pisces to the west and Taurus (constellation)Taurus to the east.
Notable features - Aries' stars are rather faint except for Alpha Arietisα Ari (Hamal) and Beta Arietisβ Ari (Sharatan). Other important stars are Gamma Arietisγ Ari (Mesarthim) and Delta Arietisδ Ari (Botein).Teegarden's star, in Aries, is one of our sun's closest neighbours.
Notable deep sky objects - The few deep sky objects in Aries are very dim. They include the galaxygalaxies NGC 697 (northwest of β), NGC 772 (southeast of β), NGC 972 (in the constellation's northern corner), and NGC 1156 (northwest of δ).
Mythology - When including fainter stars, visible to the naked eye, the area resembles the head of a sheepram, having a general herbivore head shape and a spiral horn.In Greek mythology, this is believed to represent the ram which carried Athamas's son Phrixus and daughter Helle (mythology)Helle to Colchis to escape their stepmother Ino. Helle fell off into the sea which later became the Hellespont. On reaching safety, Phrixis (rather ungratefully) sacrificed the ram and hung its golden fleecefleece in the Grove of Ares, where it turned to gold and later became the quest of Jason and the Argonauts. It appears that Babylonians, Greeks, Persians and Ancient EgyptEgyptians all agreed on the name of the Ram for this constellation.The main area of the sky constituting the sign of Aries, containing part of Pisces, the Pleiades, and the constellation of Andromeda (constellation)Andromeda, may be the origin of the myth of the girdle of Hippolyte, which forms part of The Twelve Labours of Herakles.
Astrology - The Western astrological sign Aries of the tropical zodiac (March 21–April 19) differs from the astronomical constellation and the Hindu astrological sign of the Sidereal astrologysidereal zodiac (April 19 - May 13).In some cosmologies, Aries is associated with the classical element Fire (classical element)Fire, and thus called a fire sign (along with Sagittarius and Leo). It is the domicile of Mars (god)Mars and the Exaltation_(astrology)exaltation of the Sun. It is also one of the four Cardinal signs (along with Libra, Capricorn, and Cancer). Its polar opposite is Libra. Each astrological sign is assigned a part of the body, viewed as the seat of its power. Aries rules the head. The symbol for Aries is the sheepram.unreferenced
