Something I enjoy is painting. I have taken quite a few art classes and find it very creative to work with paint and charcoal and images instead of words, though somehow I can't help adding bits of poetry and scraps of words into my paintings, too… When I was at school, I was completely obsessed by the Pre-Raphaelites, and I love the way their art is so intertwined with poetry and stories. My best friend is an artist and she is incredibly inspiring to me. Zeta Ursae Minoris is a main sequence dwarf belonging to the spectral type A3Vn.

As she grew up, she had two passions:books and theater. Gillian’s love of books led her to read English at St. Catharine's College, Cambridge. After university she studied acting in London. She then taught in a drama school, the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts, for several years, becoming Vice Principal. She recently taught English and Drama at Beechwood Sacred Heart, a girls’ boarding school.Ursa Minor was first catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century.

The star’s traditional name, Anwar al Farkadain, comes from the Arabic phrase ’anwar al-farqadayn, which means “the brighter of the two calves.” ε Ursae Minoris (Epsilon Ursae Minoris) On a more self-indulgent note, I love to get to the theater whenever I can, and to the ballet, which I adore. In another fantasy life I would definitely be a ballerina!

Orion can be seen from the UK from September, however only after 02:00. His rising in the sky gets earlier and earlier - by December he is visible after 19:00 and by January he is visible from dusk.
