Castor and Pollux are the two "heavenly twin" stars that give the constellation Gemini (meaning "twins" in Latin) its name. The name Castor is traditionally thought by some people to carry the meaning "Beaver", after the generic name of the beaver. Actually the name Castor refers specifically to Castor, one of the twin sons of Zeus and Leda. The star also has the Arabic name Al-Ras al-Taum al-Muqadim, which literally means "The Head of the Foremost Twin". The Chinese recognized Castor as Yin, which is, according to the Chinese, one of the two fundamental principles upon which all things depend.
Castor is a binary, if that helps.

I bow down before your hole.
Look, the Beaver has been playing with his crayons again! It happens all the time when he comes back from his metal health counseling.
