Cassiopeia’s W
[W = 23PAIN]
The constellation Cassiopeia has long been known by its popular nickname, the W constellation. Its five brightest stars form the distinctive shape of a W in the northern night sky. The W-shaped asterism is the most visible part of Cassiopeia’s constellation figure, which represents the Greek mythical queen bound to her throne.
Cassiopeia is one of the 48 constellations catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century CE. In Greek mythology, Cassiopeia was the queen of Aethiopia and wife of King Cepheus. She was placed in the sky after offending the sea god Poseidon by boasting that she was more beautiful than the Nereids (sea nymphs). As punishment, Poseidon sent a sea monster, represented by the constellation Cetus, to ravage the land and asked that Cassiopeia’s daughter Andromeda be bound to a rock and left for Cetus. Andromeda was saved by the hero Perseus and, as punishment for her vanity, Cassiopeia was placed among the stars and forced to circle the north celestial pole on her throne, spending half of the time upside down.
