The constellation Aries is one of the oldest recognized patterns in the night sky. In Greek mythology, it represents the Golden Ram that rescued Phrixus and Helle. The ram's fleece was later sought by Jason and the Argonauts.
Look for Aries in the northern hemisphere during autumn and winter. It lies between Pisces and Taurus, a modest constellation that holds the "First Point of Aries" (the vernal equinox point in ancient times).
