Aries Constellation

In tonight's night sky, the Aries Constellation can be seen between Pisces to the west and Taurus to the East. Within this constellation, there are three big stars. They were discovered by Johann Bayer and were named Alpha Arietis, Beta Arietis, and Gamma Arietis (Zimmerman). It can be best seen from October to December. Another interesting fact about the Aries is that it is zodiac constellation that represents the ram. It does not represent the ram for every culture, but the earliest recollection of this constellation goes back to the Babylonians. At first, the Aries represented agrarian worker, but later, the Babylonians changed it to represent the ram. This change remains clears (A Guide to the Night Sky). Another mythological story comes from the Greek. They also associated Aries with the ram where it saved Phrixus and took him to Colchis. Here, the ram is sacrificed to the gods and the fleece is placed in a temple (A Guide to the Night Sky).
Pasted below is my own picture of Aries from the night sky where you can also see Pisces in the top right corner of the picture and Taurus is in the bottom left of the picture.
