The significance of the zodiac stems from the fact that the ecliptic -- the narrow path on the sky that the Sun, Moon, and planets appear to follow -- runs directly through these star groupings. Since ancient times, the Sun, Moon, and planets have been known as special astronomical objects -- they "wander" through the background stars of the zodiac, which remain fixed with respect to each other.
In Kansas we can see all the Zodiacs if we have the right conditions and it is the correct time of the year !

Does the occasion of seeing all the Zodiacs happen only ever so often, like every so many years, or does it just depend on the conditions? It's pretty interesting to find this out!
