Boötes

Boötes (US: /boʊˈoʊtiːz/ UK: /bəʊˈəʊtiːz/, or boh-'oh-tees[2]) is a constellation in the northern sky, located between 0° and +60° declination, and 13 and 16 hours of right ascension on the celestial sphere. The name comes from the Greek Βοώτης, Boōtēs, meaning herdsman or plowman (literally, ox-driver; from boos, related to the Latin bovis, “cow”). The "ö" in the name is a diaeresis, not an umlaut, meaning that each 'o' is to be pronounced separately.

Boötes was one of the 48 constellations described by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy and is now one of the 88 modern constellations. It contains the third brightest star in the night sky, Arcturus.

Chinese astronomy, the stars of Boötes are located in three areas: the Purple Forbidden Enclosure (紫微垣 Zǐ Wēi Yuán) and Heavenly Market Enclosure (天市垣 Tiān Shì Yuán) (both included in the Three Enclosures (三垣, Sān Yuán)), and the Azure Dragon of the East (東方青龍, Dōng Fāng Qīng Lóng).
