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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
