A prominent small constellation of the northern sky between Hercules and Shepherd, in the direction of the elongated axis of the Big Dipper, at the junction of Vega and Arcturus. About one-third of this distance is a semicircle of seven bright stars dominated by Gemma, meaning "jewel". The Northern Crown is far from the Milky Way and so, like most constellations so placed, offers a bunch of faint galaxies. The most astronomically interesting object in the constellation is the extremely rich but trillion light-years away galaxy cluster Abell 2065 - containing more than 1,000 galaxies in the dizzying depths of space. Unfortunately, the brightest members only reach magnitude 16 and are therefore reserved for large telescopes.
