More information about Aries

Aries (âr`ez) [Lat.,=the ram], constellation lying on the ecliptic, the great circle on the celestial sphere that lies in the plane of the earth's orbit between Taurus and Pisces; it is one of the constellations of the zodiac. It contains the bright star Hamal (Alpha Arietis). About 2,000 years ago the vernal equinox was located at the beginning of Aries and was thus also called the "first point of Aries"; however, the precession of the equinoxes has since shifted the vernal equinox into Pisces. Aries reaches its highest point in the evening sky in December.
