 ASCII/Astroarts StellaNavigator | Constellation of Aries is a member of zodiac just west of the Pleiades (M45) in Taurus, an asterism of three stars with second or third magnitude lined up a bit strained marks the head of the Ram. Though Aries is tiny and very faint constellation, that had included the vernal equinox about two thousand years ago, and Aries was an important zodiac as the first member of that. |
