Officially the credit for discovering the constellation, Gemini, is generally given to famous astronomer William Hershey who is said to have discovered it in 1798 but at the same time it is also acknowledged that the Greeks and the Romans were also aware of its existence. The constellations have been in existence for so long that it is difficult to believe that nobody else has noticed them before being officially discovered.
