Gemini Constellation: Some Important Facts

The pulsar in the constellation Gemini called Geminga is isolated from the rest of the universe because about 99% of its radiation falls in the gamma-ray range. Even though Geminga emits an x-ray, it was not discovered until over two decades after its discovery in 1972, when it was just a 5th-magnitude object (which is equal to magnitude 25). The first radio pulsar had not been detected. The diameter of this object is approximately 10 km (6 miles) and is accompanied by a period of about 0.237 seconds. A supernova explosion around 300,000 years ago probably generated it.

The third zodiac sign in astrology is Gemini. Gemini is typically considered to be governing the span between about May 21 and June 21. It is characterised by a pair of identical twins in Egyptian astrology of two goats and in Arabian astrology of two peacocks. Castor constellation and pollux constellation are also related to the other pairs that are prominent throughout histories, such as the younger and older Horus, who were the sons of Osiris and Isis, and Romulus and Remus, who were the sons of Rhea and Silvia.
