The Herdsman - romanian constellation. Bootes is a zenithal constellation, easily identifiable
in the spring-summer nights sky, after the brightest star, Arcturus (which means bear
in Greek language). It is easy to be found, extending the shaft of the Great Chariot (Ursa
Major). It is bordered by the constellations Draco, Hercules, Corona Borealis, Serpens
Caput, Virgo, Coma Berenices, Canes Venatici and the Great Chariot. In some places in Romania,
the constellation is associated with a Herdsman(văcar). It takes care of the seven oxes identified
in the brightest stars of Ursa Major.
