I wrote a poem last year about Cassiopeia before I even knew about the greek mythology: Cassiopeia’s Lament It’s a lonely voyage back to the womb Back to a place in time where impossibilities were the truth Infinities be damned Where dreams untamed are born of fire Where the stars that made you are well beyond your horizons And your journeys take you nowhere and everywhere Fear not, the innocence will guide you Lest your mind betrays everything you ever knew And may the space between our galaxies be blessed with a hope unyielding Until your light shines on me But for a sweet time When your flames dim into the cold of space in the end as in the beginning Your illusions are the only truth you’ll ever know

[@1770-p9p]

Beulers not back. What did I tell you about following me

[@VladaldTrumptin]

Don’t you love it when you have those “woah” moments & wonder how that information somehow arrived in your skull well ahead of time. Beautiful poem btw ❤

[@FesihaTayachew-gz3tg]

Did you know Cassiopeia is the ancient queen of Ethiopia?

[@BuellersBack]

@@FesihaTayachew-gz3tg I did not, I just knew about the greek mythology. Thanks for sharing!

[@BuellersBack]

@@VladaldTrumptin It's always a joyful moment. Thank you. 🙏

[@nama5257]

Brilliant video. I am an amateur enthusiast and your video was really helpful. I don’t mind the photos being of less than high def (as somebody commented). It is what you narrated with all your photos, which is very good for audience like me to whom this is helpful.

[@m.rlitomt1867]

Cassiopeia was Ethiopian king and he was a father of andromeda.and these constellations named after them because of their great contribution in discovering constellations.

[@learnthesky]

I have read about this connection of Cassiopeia and Andromeda to Ethiopia. I wish to learn more about it. Most often in literature the story of this constellation is attributed to a Greek mythology, but many of the Greek stories were adapted from earlier cultures. It confirms that there is much I still need to learn. Thank you for your message.

[@lebanamela5011]

Bereda Bersissa: Cassiopeia was a Queen not a King.

[@sarasisay5487]

Cassiopeia is theQueen the mother of Andromeda, The King or the father of Andromeda is Cepheus, the rest of the comment is correct

in another universe maybe...

[@iman1142]

i can see cassiopeia outside every night (on clear nights) and it’s one of my fav constellations

[@SPACETVnet]

Thanks so much for creating these! We have added it to the Cassiopeia and Astronomy channels of our site.

[@learnthesky]

Thank you! I’m glad to hear this. I follow your channel and enjoy your content.

[@fernandobautista3200]

Massive thanks for making these videos, you're a so helpful.

[@Vinline1995]

This is the first constellation I've ever seen. It was 2 am, and I was smoking with my cousin in the balcony. This was the only constellation we could ever see due to light pollution. Only the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta were visible. I though it was a ladle

[@AntPDC]

Very helpful, thank you. However, the resolution of many of the slides is poor. At 8:57 for example, one can barely read the label "Cassiopeia", much less discern the constellation itself among the mush, defeating the whole point of the exercise. Uploading at 780p when the images themselves are natively nowhere near that resolution is futile. It's important to have decent images in astronomy teaching.

[@boarini2003]

Wow, Cassiopeia really has a lot of wonders. I hope that you can make more of these videos for southern hemisphere constellations.

[@xpertran]

Cassiopeia would contain our sun as one of its component stars, if one were to go to alpha centauri and look back at this constellation thus spoiling the W shape of this constellation. Am I right? sekhar ganapathy

This channel deserves more popularity! Great doing mam!❤

[@yusufchoudhary7620]

Thank you so much for this video .Beacause of your channel I am getting interested in astronomy.

[@mallardducks3615]

I've seen Cassiopeia so many times

[@maliatfirst9]

oof lucky you

[@alexretiro7243]

Mine is Orion and canis major

[@nowthatsjustducky]

@@alexretiro7243 Orion and CM during the Winter and Spring, and Cassi any time of the year. I am looking forward to the upcoming Orion/CM season; and hopefully this year, VY CM will be bright enough to see through binocs. I'm expecting Rho Cassi to be my first Hypergiant though (or V509 if someone can point out on a map where it is...or 6 Cass...)

Is anyone else here because you read a few books with Cassiopeia in it and now it’s you favorite constellation now you want to learn more about it?- lol

[@RichterScale-oz5pp]

9:00, I was convinced I found it, but I was looking at the parts of the big dipper, lol.

[@marieke2144]

me too I’ve seen Caseiopea many times and Polaris too.I see them every night when I walk home, after kissing my mam good night. I see also Corona borialis and Perseus and andromeda I think but always CASEIOPEIA (and the milkyway behind it) Just great 😊 All thanks to you 😊💛🙏

[@jeffmedina8839]

Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge of the Heavens. I did not see the names of the individual stars in this constellation like Navi and Shedar etc. which is what I'm trying to learn more of! Thank You.

[@learnthesky]

I do have a video focusing on the stars of Cassiopeia, but it is a few months out. Stay tuned!

[@yahianad]

Happy new year 2021 and heavy thanks to you.

Happy New Year! Wishing you the best for 2021! 🌟

[@ElenaKomleva]

Wow, interesting, informative channel!

[@munsters2]

Informative video, but some of the captions cover up the stars being discussed.

[@rocknroll2199]

Not sure if you are aware of the space game Elite Dangerous that is set in the real Milky Way Galaxy with accurate distances preserved. Obviously, it is a game and has game elements that deviate somewhat but it is quite accurate. There is also a piece of game lore that has gone unfound since the game's inception in 1984 as Elite, that may involve the Cassiopeia constellation. I am currently planning a trip to Rho Cassiopeia on her brow. You may want to investigate the game's Raxxla lore and see if you can find it in the real Milky Way Galaxy. It could be fun.

[@JailBiden]

Thank you again

[@Rotisiv]

I absolutely love Cassiopeia.

[@maschwab63]

Idea for a future segment. Gather various pictures of Polaris from various latitude, then use them to calculate the altitude of Polaris above the north pole assuming a flat earth model. Don't comment that no result matches until the very end.

[@CassiopeiaBalisacan]

Thanks you for supporting me 😊

[@sanjuvlogstamil7480]

Thanks a lot.. I am in southern tip of India.. Can I locate cassiopeia.. Coz I'm feeling difficult to find in the sky.. But i can clearly see Orion constellation

[@7belly7]

beautifulllll video ! Funny, i looked at 12.57,,, that buble realy has the face of an E.T..hahaha

[@zionyw5433]

Cassiopeia didnt came from greek, it came from ethiopian queen she was the one who named it after her self, u can look it up at 88 Officially Recognized Constellations by nasa

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Flash back to you :)

[@LTRSASUKEFF]

is nebula really so colorful?

[@learnthesky]

Great question. No, not really. Colors are added to them so definition and shape can be seen more clearly. Scientists often combine different types of electromagnetic spectrum images to get a better idea of the structure of a celestial object.

[@Navy_realawesomness]

I found Cassiopeia but why is Saggita Next to it?

[@deshichora2060]

I have read this mythology story in my english book.....

[@LCD72]

Does the star map at 13:06 label the stars of Cassiopeia incorrectly? I've seen the stars named elsewhere as (from R-L) Caph, Schedar, Navi/Cih, Ruchbar/Ksora, Segin.

[@learnthesky]

I believe it is labeled correctly. I compared that image to the ones I use from the International Astronomical Union, and the labeling is the same. It is amazing to me how much star maps can vary sometimes.

[@adriankay1336]

@@learnthesky Hi, I was about to make the same comment as JG. I have also seen Schedar labelled as the alpha star(2nd from the right of the W.

[@nowthatsjustducky]

Anyone know where in CAass V509 is? The Wikipedia entry on Cass does not show it on the star map, and V509's entry doesn't bother showing where it is either. And general Web searches for V509 all give the same regurgitated Wikipedia entry and give no indication where the star is?

[@learnthesky]

There are a total of 88 constellations in western astronomy. Other cultures have their own constellations, stories and patterns.

[@nowthatsjustducky]

@@learnthesky I understand that. That still doesn't answer the question of where in the night sky Cass V509 is at. Surely someone can take a shot of a sky chart and just draw a circle around the star?

[@getumillion8731]

Cassiopeia queen of Ethiopia

[@barthennin6088]

OK, the video showed how to find OTHER constellations using Cassiopeia as a pointer but never showed how to find Cassiopeia itself as the video promised.

[@learnthesky]

Look north for the 'W' shape.

[@barthennin6088]

I find it best to start with the little and big dippers as they are generally the easiest to pick out and then locate other constellations from them - in this case the front of the big dipper forms a line that points to the North star, continues to touch the tip of Cepheus and continues to one end Cassiopeia (the right most star if looking at it as a 'W')...Once you have the W, then yes, you can use it to point to other constellations. I try to derive multiple paths through the sky. @@learnthesky

[@elsuttyphon6267]

Cepheus is set to retake the throne from Polaris and Cepheus and Cassiopeia the Ethiopian queen and king

[@blackjed]

I need to live somewhere naturally dark. I need to see the night sky like this

[@learnthesky]

Seeing a dark sky with lots of stars can be life changing. It is the reason I lived in Hawai'i for so long. The night sky is incredible there, and I really struggled to find the constellations because there were so many stars!

[@blackjed]

@@learnthesky Oh now I envy you more.

[@supriyayonzon5883]

I have seen Cassiopeia first time

[@mehjabinvadivala5684]

The international space station or the iss is going to past right through the queen constellation.

[@caroljoy52]

Please can we have the commentary without the music.

[@beyondcommonknowledge2723]

Have you considered drawing any of the constellations and their connections to Greek and other Ancient Mythologies?

[@learnthesky]

I have thought about doing something like this, but may need to collaborate with another creator to make this happen. I’m more of a scientist than a historian, so doing the legends and myths of a constellation is a challenge for me. I do my best, but the amount of myths can be a bit overwhelming. Thank you for your suggestions!

Cassiopeia is Queen of Ethiopia and cephus is king of Ethiopia Andromeda is a princess of Ethiopia

[@mekdesabera9333]

I wonder why you don't even mention Ethiopia once in this video? Cassiopeia was an Ethiopian queen. Let's refer to history and acknowledge every source.

[@learnthesky]

I have acknowledged it a past video and was heavily criticized that I got it all wrong, so I took that version down until I could learn more. This is a mythology that I’m working on studying more so I do get it correct. The challenge is that mythologies vary so much across cultures... I’m learning that there is no one true mythology, but a variety of them. My other challenge is finding primary resources on this. Some say she is from Ethiopia and others say Aethiopia, and I’m not sure what the difference is. If you have any recommendations on sources I would appreciate any help.

[@mekdesabera9333]

@@learnthesky Thank you for your scholarly view and I get your point. I hope you can read ancient Ethiopian books and also try to contact Dr. Rodas Tadesse who is working on detailed scientific analysis in this field. You can also visit his youtube channel @ Andromeda but it is in Amharic and better to contact him. Good Luck,

[@learnthesky]

@@mekdesabera9333 Thank you so much for the recommendation! This is a great start, I appreciate it.
