Aries, the ram:
An ancient constellation of the zodiac. Aries is one of the smallest and most inconspicuous of the zodiac constellations. Aries represents the golden ram whose fleece Jason and Argonauts sought.
The main area of the sky constituting the sign of Aries, containing part of Pisces, the Pleiades, and the constellation of Andromeda, may be the origin of the myth of the girdle of Hippolyte, which forms part of The Twelve Labours of Hercules.

Vagaries of the Seasons
You might think the Sun's declination changes at a uniform rate throughout the year. But that doesn't happen either. The solar pendulum quickly swings past the equinoxes but pauses at the solstices.

Visual binaries tend to be systems that are relatively close to us so that the individual stars can be resolved. They are systems in which the component stars are also physically widely separated, tens to a few hundred AUs.
In Arabic Aries, the Ram, is known as Al Hamal, the Sheep. The name of the star reflects the Arabic name of the constellation. The alternative name of the star, Ras Hammel, derives from the Arabic name Al Ras al Hamal, "The Head of the Sheep." ...

Not all binaries are visual. There are spectroscopic binaries where the motion of the stars cannot be seen directly but is inferred from the time variable doppler shifts in the absorption lines.

Spectroscopic binaries, first identified in 1889, are not visually separable by the telescope but can nevertheless be recognized by means of doubling or broadening of the spectrum lines as the star pair revolves.
First Point of Aries (FPA) The Vernal Equinox point, i.e. that where the centre of the Sun, moving northwards, crosses the equator. It is the reference direction for the equatorial system of co-ordinates.
First point in Aries -- Another name for the position on the celestial sphere of the vernal equinox. It is called so because in ancient time that point was in Aries, a constellation of the zodiac.

At divergent boundaries, plates move away from each other such as at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Where plates diverge, hot, molten rock rises and cools adding new material to the edges of the oceanic plates. This process is known as sea-floor spreading.

Studies indicate that a fair portion of them are caused by strong temperature or moisture gradients, or both, such as might be found near the boundaries of bubbles of especially warm or moist air (see blob).

Why do they exist with relatively sharp edges, when dark matter presumably doesn't sustain such strong boundaries?
Science has very distinct `boundaries' that it must fiercely maintain for its own integrity and function. The primary boundary established is that science strictly deals with the material universe.
What he developed from this idea was a universe that was finite in size but without any edges or boundaries. It was a spherical universe. What does this mean?
Originally, on the Vernal Equinox in 2000 BC, the Sun was located in between Aries and Pisces, so for the next month everyone should be an Aries (March 21 - April 21).
When the constellations of the zodiac were named about 2,000 years ago, the vernal equinox coincided with the beginning of the constellation Aries.
In the Pyramid Age, the equinoxes were in Taurus, not far from the border with Aries, and Scorpius, along the border with Libra (Figure 9).

With the invention of the atomic bomb in 1945, visionaries could see that the long-range missile might have the potential to upset the strategic balance of power.
Constellations have imaginary boundaries formed by "connecting the dots" and all the stars within those boundaries are labeled with the name of that constellation.
