Capricornus

The year-long path of the sun against the background of fixed stars is known as the ecliptic. Any constellation (a group of star that forms a pattern in the sky) given a name by the ancients that contains the ecliptic is known as a Zodiac constellation. Capricornus is one such constellation. Capricornus is associated with January in astrology and represents a sea-goat, the mythological Pan who transformed himself into a fish to escape trouble one day. Capricornus is not an easy constellation to find.
