Legacy of the Water Bearer 📜

♒

2000 BC | BABYLON

Known as "The Great One" (GU.LA), the Babylonians associated this constellation with their god Ea, who ruled over the sweet waters of the underworld.

ANCIENT GREECE | GANYMEDE

In Greek myth, Aquarius represents Ganymede, a handsome youth taken to Olympus by Zeus to serve as the cupbearer to the gods.

MODERN DAY | THE AGE

Astronomers today study the "Helix Nebula" located here—a dying star that looks like a giant cosmic eye looking back at Earth!

"Did you know? Aquarius is located in a region of the sky called 'The Sea,' surrounded by other water-themed constellations like Pisces and Cetus!"
