Ophiuchus

Large constellation along the celestial equator (see celestial sphere), known as the serpent bearer because the constellation Serpens is wrapped around it. The Sun passes through Ophiuchus each December, but the constellation is not counted as part of the zodiac. Ophiuchus contains Barnard's star. It was in the southeastern corner of this constellation that Kepler's star, the most recent supernova in our galaxy, appeared in 1604.
