This belt is considered special because it is where the sun, the moon, and the planets all move. The word zodiac means “circle of figures” or “circle of life”. As the earth revolves around the sun, different parts of the sky become visible. Each month, one of the 12 constellations show up above the horizon in the east and disappears below the horizon in the west. If you are born under a particular sign, the constellation it is named for can’t be seen at night. Instead, the sun is passing through it around that time of year making it a daytime constellation that you can’t see!

This is the year to turn a talent or a hobby into an income or full time career. Saturn will give you the discipline you need to transform a vision into reality. Most of the time our passions do not blend well with our work, duties and responsibilities. Fun and duty are in a way, contradictions. As soon as we become responsible, we stop having fun. But in 2018 you can make an exception to the rule. You can be responsible, follow up your daily tasks, make a routine to get things done, and let your creativity flow and live a passionate life. In fact, most artists or creatives who eventually become successful have learned how to bring together these otherwise very different aspects of life: passion and duty.

Astronomy for Kids - Leo
Astronomy for Kids - Leo The Lion Leo is another companion to Orion in our night sky. You can easily find Leo any Leo Map time that Orion is visible by looking East of the Great Hunter. Although Leo is not as large as Orion, it's distinctive shape makes it very easy to pick out. If you click on the link for the map of Leo on the right, you will notice that the outline of the lion's head and the triangle formed by the stars in the lion's hindquarters are two very distinctive shapes that make this constellation very easy to spot. A map of Leo. Regulus - the Heart of the Lion The largest and brightest star in Leo is Regulus. This large blue star shines brightly as the heart of the lion. Although not a giant star, Regulus is still over five times as large as our Sun. A small telescope will show you that Regulus is part of what is called a "binary system". Binary stars are stars that have one or more companions that orbit around the largest star in the group, much like the planets orbit around our Sun. Find Out More About Leo Chris Dolan's Leo Page Chris Dolan's Leo page has lots of technical information about the stars that make up Leo Richard Dibon-Smith's Leo Page Richard Dibon-Smith's Leo page has a very good explanation of the mythology behind Gemini as well as an excellent reference to its stars and other interesting celestial companions.

NSF's National Optical Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory
NSF’s National Optical Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory and Planetary Science Tod R. Lauer (NOIRLab) [email protected] (520) 861-4618 John Blakeslee (Gemini / NOIRLab) NSF’s National Optical Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab) is a new organization that consolidates NSF’s National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), the Gemini Observatory, and the operation of the Rubin Observatory into a unified system for providing the US research community with frontier observational facilities and data. NOIRLab will also be tasked with providing the community with access to the US extremely large telescope (ELT) projects now in development: the Giant Magellan Telescope and the Thirty Meter Telescope, if the NSF invests in construction and/or operations of one or both of these telescopes Historically, NOAO and Gemini have enthusiastically supported planetary science research, and fully expect to continue to do so over the coming decade. The Rubin Observatory will soon begin operations with its Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), which will provide a deep census of small bodies throughout the solar system. The ELTs will be built around high- performance adaptive optics fed imaging and spectroscopy, which will be available for detailed study of all solar system objects, and will support strong programs in exo-planet research. The Decade Ahead We write to the Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey with the simple goal of requesting that the survey consider us within the constellation of facilities available for supporting initiatives in planetary science and astrobiology over the coming decade. Overall, we see NOIRLab supporting leading-edge planetary science research with all of its facilities, and would enjoy working with the planetary science community to realize this ambition.
