The equinoctial points and the two solstitial points half way between them, where the Sun reaches its farthest north and farthest south respectively, and stands still before turning in the opposite direction, were carefully noted by the ancient observers. They remarked also that the Moon and the planets then known, in all their wanderings, kept within 8° of the great circle of the ecliptic, and this 16° zone received particular attention and a special name, the Zodiac, the name, it is said, arising from the fact that, with the exception of Libra, the Scales, all the constellations in it have the figures of animals.
