Greek mythology associates the winter constellation Auriga, which resembles an asymmetric pentagon with the Capella star, with a chariot driver pulling goats.
Auriga, a constellation in the night sky, is part of a group known as "Orion and his gang." Its shape resembles a giant lopsided pentagon with the bright star Capella at one of its corners. During winter, Auriga is easily visible high in the evening sky. To locate it, look for Capella and trace the rest of the pentagon from there. The constellation features a chariot driver with goats on his shoulders, according to Greek mythology.
