'''Draco''' is an extensive, circumpolar [[constellation]] located in the far northern [[celestial hemisphere]], almost encircling [[Ursa Minor]]. The constellation is most noted for the fact that [[Thuban]], the north star of the ancient world is a member. Draco was one of the 48 constellations recorded by [[Ptolemy]] in his ''Almagest'' or Great Book, and is one of the 88 modern constellations.
