According to Greek myth, Hercules - one of the greatest Greek heroes - had to perform twelve labors, and one of them was to fight the many-headed monster Hydra. Hera - the Queen of the Greek Gods - didn't want Hercules to win, so during the fight, she sent Cancer the crab to distract him. But Cancer was no match for Hercules, and the crab was crushed under Hercules' foot. Hera appreciated the little crab's effort, though, so she gave him a place in the sky.
The stars that make up Cancer's constellation aren't very bright, so if you want find it in the sky, you have to pick the right time to look. Astronomers say that is during the month of March.
