Constellation Project

Pegasus Have you ever seen a pegasus in the night sky? There is a beautiful constellation by the name of Pegasus. To begin with, Pegasus was created when Perseus slayed the gorgon, Medusa. It just so happens that a few drops of her blood fell into the sea. The blood mixed with white sea foam and Pegasus was created. Some time had passed when a warrior by the name of Bellerophon found Pegasus and attempted to ride him to Mt. Olympus. Zeus was not at all happy to see this, so he sent a gadfly to bite Pegasus. The gadfly bit Pegasus, and in return, bucked Bellerophon off. In the end, Pegasus continued to Mt. Olympus where he supposedly still remains. Be sure to check the night sky for Pegasus!
