EARTH’S SKY IS FULL OF LEGENDS HUMANS, MONSTERS, ANIMALS, KINGS AND OF COURSE QUEEN CASSIOPEIA.
SHE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES TO FIND.
HIT THE DARKNESS AT ELEVEN PM AND LOOK NORTH.
YOU SHOULD SEE THE BIG DIPPER ASTERISM STANDING ON ITS BOWL ON THE LEFT.
IF THE DIPPER IS AT NOON, CASSIOPEIA IS THAT W-SHAPE AT ABOUT FIVE.
EVERYONE IN THE SKY IS THERE FOR A REASON, AND CASSIOPEIA IS A LESSON AGAINST PERSONAL VANITY.
TWENTY CENTURIES AGO, CASSIOPEIA WAS SAID TO BE BEAUTIFUL, BUT ALSO VAIN.
SHE BOASTED THAT SHE HAD MORE BEAUTY THAN THE NEREIDS A BIG NO, NO.
THEY WE’RE THE HOTTIES OF ANCIENT GREECE, AND LIKE MEAN GIRLS DO, THEY SAID YOU CAN’T SIT WITH US AND TOLD THEIR DAD POSEIDON ABOUT IT.
HE WASN’T HAPPY.
AS PUNISHMENT, POSEIDON PLACED CASSIOPEIA UPSIDE DOWN IN THE SKY, SPINNING AROUND AND AROUND YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND BABY, KEEP LOOKIN’ UP!
