Gemini constellation. Stars of Castor (at centre) and Pollux (at lower centre) in the constellation of Gemini (the Twins).

The stars often represented opposing characters or behaviours in mythology. Castor is not a single star but a system of 3 binary stars about 45 light years away. The components of these stars orbit around each other every 2.9 days, 9.2 days and 10, 000 years respectively. Pollux is a single star about 35 light years away which, although cooler than the Sun, has four times the diamater and is 35 times as bright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the star Sirius, captured using a star filter. Located in the Gemini constellation, this celestial masterpiece also features two prominent stars - Castor and Pollux. Positioned at the center and lower center respectively, these stars symbolize the heads of twin figures in mythology. Castor, known as Alpha Geminorum, is not just a single star but rather a system consisting of three binary stars situated approximately 45 light years away from us. These stellar components gracefully orbit around each other with periods ranging from 2.9 days to an astonishing 10,000 years. On the other hand, Pollux shines brightly as a solitary star about 35 light years distant from our planet. Despite being cooler than our Sun, it boasts four times its diameter and radiates an awe-inspiring brightness that is thirty-five times greater. The image itself portrays more than just celestial splendor; it encapsulates centuries-old stories where these heavenly bodies represented opposing characters or behaviors within various mythologies. As we gaze upon this optical marvel amidst the vastness of space, we are reminded of humanity's eternal fascination with constellations like Gemini and their profound significance in cosmology. This remarkable photograph was expertly captured by Science Photo Library – an invaluable resource for those passionate about science, astronomy, and all things related to our magnificent universe.
