Katherine's Star
in the Gemini Constellation

To keep the love and admiration alive,  I have named a star in Mom's memory.
Now when we look to the heavens we will see her looking back at us.

Gemini Constellation
This constellation is named for Castor and Pollux, “twins” who were actually half brothers. Their mother, Leta, became pregnant with both of them on the same night. Castor’s father was Tyndareus, a king of Sparta. Pollux’s father was Zeus, who came an seduced Leta while in the form of a swan.

Castor and Pollux are, logically, the two brightest stars in the constellation. They are 4.5 degrees apart, which helps observers estimate separation distances between other stars. Gemini is generally visible in January.
