Gemini is a northern sky zodiac constellation. In greek mythology the twins are sons of Zeus (Pollux) and Tyndareus (Castor) with the same mother, Leda. Both appears in the story about Jason with association to Aries, Hercules, and Lyra. Castor is also associated with Equuleus. The constellation is most convenient to watch during evenings in the late winter/early spring. The open cluster M35 is visible in the image and so is Jupiter, the brightest object in the image.
