The constillation Cancer is a crab. If you look in the sky late winter early spring, you might see something that looks like a “Y”. Cancer is the faintest member of the Zodic, through which the sun passes late July earl August. Cancer lays 23.5 digrees north of the terrestrial equater. In ancient times the sun layed on the Cancer dates, but because of precession the sun now lays on Gemini. In the “Y” there are four major stars, Zeta, Gamma, Delta, Beehhive cluster, Praesepe the mager. Most are in Zeta!
