Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
AQUARIUS (the " Water-bearer " or " Cup-bearer ") , in astronomy, the eleventh sign of the zodiac (q.v.), situated between
Capricornus
  and
Pisces
 . Its symbol is =, representing
part
  of a stream of water, probably in allusion to the fact that when the sun is in this
part
  of the heavens (January, February) the weather is
rainy
 . It is also a constellation mentioned by Eudoxus (4th century B.C.) and Aratus (3rd century s.c.);
Ptolemy
  catalogued
forty
 -five stars, Tycho Brahe
forty
 -one, Hevelius forty-seven.
Aquarii
  is a well-defined binary, having both components of the fourth magnitude; it is probably of
long
  period.
