Zeta Geminorum (ζ Gem ζ Geminorum) is the Bayer designation for a star in the zodiac constellation Gemini on the outstretched left ‘leg’ of the twin Pollux. It has the traditional name Mekbuda meaning the lion’s folded paw. As a member of the category of variable stars known as classical Cepheids it has a regular pulsation frequency that is determined by its mass.
