Constellation Draco (The Dragon)

Draco or The Dragon is one of the 88 constellations modern astronomers have divided the sky into. It's part of the Ursa Major constellation family. Draco is best seen in July (from latitudes +90° to -15°)

Coiled around the sky’s north pole is the celestial dragon, Draco. It is said that this dragon protected Hesperides’ garden, which had a tree with golden apples. The constellation is made up of 21 main stars and most notably the ‘Zenith’ star. As part of Hercules’ Twelve Labors, the dragon is killed while protecting the golden apples from Hercules. Hera placed him in the sky to always remember his sacrifice.
