Corona Borealis

    Corona Borealis is the neighbor, or "twin" of the constellation Corona Austrina. This constellation's name in Latin means "The Northern Crown." The named stars in this constellation are Alphekka (which means "gem" or "the broken."), and Nusakan (which means Nusakan or "the two series").


In the above picture, near the middle is the constellation Corona Borealis, though hard to see.
