Lore of the Constellations: Boötes
For video #3 in our special series, Jay Lamm, Planetarium Producer and Technical Manager at the Irene W. Pennington Planetarium in the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, will take you on an exploration behind the meaning and origin of the strange namesake of Boötes, the herdsman. You might not be too familiar with the constellation Boötes but it represents a herdsman. You can find him right above the constellation of Virgo and under the arc of the Big Dipper within Ursa Major.
