What is Cassiopeia?

In the all-sky constellation, Cassiopeia is a constellation comparable to the Big Dipper, located at 40 degrees north latitude. As in the northern region, Cassiopeia can be seen all year round. Like Ursa Major, where the Big Dipper is located, Cassiopeia is also one of the famous constellations.

Although Cassiopeia has more than a hundred stars that can be distinguished by meat heels, there are not many brighter stars. The five brightest stars form an eye-catching English letter "W", which opens towards the North Star. It has become the most important symbol for people to identify Cassiopeia in the starry sky. Every autumn after dusk, it is very easy for people to see this constellation with a star sign near the North Galaxy.

In ancient Greek mythology, Cassiopeia was the incarnation of Cassiopeia, the queen of King Kaifus of Ethiopia. Cassiopeia is beautiful and kind, but she has a strong vanity. Not only does she like to be praised for the beauty of her daughter, Andlau Moda, but she often boasts that her daughter is more beautiful than the most beautiful fairy in the sea.

Her words angered the sea fairy and Poseidon, and Poseidon angrily sent sea monsters to the Ethiopian coast to make waves and harm the people. In order to calm Poseidon's anger, King Keforth had to give his beloved princess to Poseidon at the hint of God, and later the princess was saved by the hero Poerxiusi.

Queen Cassiopeia knew that her vanity not only brought great disaster to the people, but also almost ruined her daughter's life. So when Cassiopeia ascended to heaven and became Cassiopeia, she was still hands in the air and bent down to show her remorse.
