Castor
Stellar twin brother
Castor is one of the twin stars in the constellation Gemini, paired with Pollux.
In Greek mythology, Castor and Pollux were twin brothers—the Dioscuri—born to Leda, with Castor being the mortal son of the Spartan king Tyndareus.
The name occasionally appears as a masculine given name. (Lowercase castor is a swiveling wheel or the source of castor oil.)
