The Zodiac is the name of the virtual belt in which the planets, Sun, and Moon appear to move about the sky. In reality, the planets and their respective moons (most of them anyway) orbit the Sun about the same plane. Because the orbits of the planets are not on a perfect plane, the Zodiac band is 16° wide - 8° on either side of the ecliptic.

Virgo
Virgo is a Zodiac constellation associated with the month of September. Lying between Leo the Lion and Libra the Scales in the Zodiac, Virgo is the second largest constellation in the sky; only Hydra the long dragon is bigger in area. Despite its great size though, Virgo is not a cinch to find in the night sky. Here is how you can find and identify the constellation of Virgo the Maiden.
