Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON

Gemini is the name Of the con-
stellation that we find east Of
Orion and is located by means Of
two bright stars called Castor and
Pollux. The name Gemini is from
the Latin language and means
1.-The twins"
Telescopes show that the upper
star, Castor, is a beautiful double
star. Spectroscopes show that
these two stars and third fainter
star are double, that is, there are
really six stars in what appears to
be one to the naked eye.
For many tribes and nations,
from the islands Of the Pacific to
Greece and Egypt, these two stars
have always taken a prominent
part in mythology. Castor and
Pollux, on their two white horses,
led the soldiers of the republic to
victory on a famous day in Roman
history. Naturally the Romans
erected a beautiful temple in the
Forum to the Twins. For a long
time these famous horSemen were
pictured on Roman silver coins.
