Virgo

Virgo is the zodiac constellation that is situated between the Lion and the Libra zodiac constellations. The modern constellation of Virgo has the autumnal equinoctial point.

Virgo has the accumulation of galaxies at the distance over 60 millions light years. It has not less than 1500 members that are spiral galaxies, sources of radiation, etc. The galaxy Sombrero is almost seen. It was named in such way because of the dark dust line that was crossing the equator plane.

Usually the sun enters this constellation on September 16. This is the ancient constellation that was already thought to be constellations by ancient people. Greeks saw the most different goddesses and heroes in this constellation. But the most famous variant of myth is that this constellation is Demeter that is the goddess of fertility and agriculture.

The image of Virgo has the ear. Another bright star of the constellation is Vindemiatrix. It was though to be the young man turned into the star. He was the lover of Dionysus who was the god of wine and fertile powers of the land.

Sometimes people even refer the name "Virgo" to Santa Maria.

Virgo is the constellation that enters the traditional circle of zodiacs and people believed that people born during the time when the sun is in this constellation have special qualities and traits of character. Usually they are characterised as hard-working and persistent people that always try to gain their aims.

When we look into the sky, we see thousands of little shinning points in the sky.? They could be seen only at night. These shinning little points are stars that are bigger than our planet but they are so far that they seem to be only little points.

In 1922 the General Assembly of the International Association of Astronomers made the final list of 88 constellations into which the sky was divided. And in eight years the exact and final limits between them were made. During five years scientists corrected some limits. But in 1935 limits were adapted finally and couldn't be changed any more.
