Even though this weekend is the unofficial end to summer, there is still time to get outside and do some stargazing with your canine Growleo (Galileo).
Viruffgo (Virgo) is Latin for Lion and one of the thirteen constellations of the zodiac. Its name is Latin for virgin. Lying between Leo to the west and Libra to the east, it is the second largest constellation in the sky. It can be easily found through its brightest star, Spica.
The bright Spica makes it easy to locate Virgo, as it can be found by following the curve of the Big Dipper to Arcturus in Boötes and continuing from there in the same curve. Who exactly Virgo was considered to represent is uncertain; in history, it has been associated with nearly every prominent goddess, including Ishtar, Isis, Cybele, and Athena, as well as with Mary the Mother of Jesus.
So go stargrowling with your canine Growilieo (Gailieo) and share your adventures here.
