"The Crab"
Main Attractions :
The sun used to reside in Cancer during the summer solstice, thus giving us the
Tropic of Cancer. The Tropic of Cancer is the line on a globe that represents the
Sun's most northern elevation above the equator (also see Tropic of Capricorn).
The galactic "Beehive" star
cluster is easily visible to the naked eye right in the heart of Cancer, and is
very helpful in locating the constellation.
