ARIES—THE RAM
Aries is identified by a noticeable triangle just west of the
Pleiades. However, to see the full figure of the Ram takes a
stretch of one's imagination. The yellow star Hamal is the lu-
cida of this group and marks the tip of one horn. This is one of
the Zodiacal constellations, reproduced from Bayer's Uranome-
tria, shown in the Copernican Room.
