The constellation Aquarius represents a young man pouring water from a jar. Aquarius is a constellation from the Zodiac. Aquarius is the month of February. The sun passes Aquarius once each year. One of the most distinctive features of Aquarius is a “y” shaped group of four stars. Zeta Aquarii is at the center and almost exactly on the celestial equator. It is a twin of white stars of the fourth magnitude which means they orbit around each other every 760 years. Aquarius is a Greek myth about a handsome young man named Ganymede. He attracted the eye of Zeus. Zeus sent an eagle to snatch up Ganymede and carry him over to Mount Olympus.
