The Fixed Stars

Alhena

Gamma Geminorum, Almeisan

The brand or mark, from the Arabic al-han'ah. It stands at about 9° Cancer (tropical).

The mark on the twins' foot.

Gamma Geminorum, whose name descends from the sixth Arabic mansion Al Han'ah, a brand or mark once burned on a camel's neck. It stands at a foot of the twins. Robson gives it a note rather than a full nature: eminence in art, with a liability to accidents befalling the feet, which suits its place in the figure. A white star of the second magnitude.

Namesake of the mansion Al Han'ah, which it shares with Tejat.
