This month's constellation is Gemini! I really love the story behind the twins, plus it's pretty easy to find in the sky due to its close proximity to the constellation of Orion which is a bonus (My plan with this catalogue is to use Orion as our starting point for finding constellations and then slowly spreading out from there).
As mentioned below, Gemini is also known as The Twins and is one of the signs of the zodiac. It is the star sign of people born between May 21st and June 20th.
As always if you wish you can download and print this weeks Constellation Catalogue here and find the star map for your location here.
Since this is an astronomy-based post I also wanted to let you guys know about the New Horizons spacecraft which will be doing its first fly-by of the planet Pluto on July 14th. You've probably heard about it, but if you haven't let me give you some information: New Horizons was launched in 2006 which means it has been travelling towards Pluto for nine years. This is the first spacecraft in history to enter Pluto's system and hence will give us the clearest photos of the planet that we've ever had. Long story short, we all get to witness some amazing history in the making.
I hope you have fun stargazing this month and let me know if you go and find Gemini for yourself!
