Ursa Minor (the Little Bear) is intimately linked to Polaris, the North Star which may be found at the end of the trail of stars that look like the Little Dipper. Ursa Minor does not appear have any mythology associated with it, rather it was first mentioned in the 6th century B.C. by Thales of Miletus as a navigational aid for Phoenician sailors. On the other hand, in the mythology of Ursa Major, two bears were flung into the sky by their tails by Zeus, in a fit of jealousy. The throw was so violent that the bear's tails were elongated

Polaris - Illustration - Polaris System - Illustration - Polaris is a triple system composed of a supergiant star and two dwarf stars. It is a pulsating variable star, cepheide of low amplitude. This illustration shows the triple system of this star, Polaris A and Polaris Ab, and further on, his companion Polaris B. This is a view from within the Polaris triple star system. The North Star, Polaris A is a bright supergiant variable star.Just above Polaris is a small companion, Polaris Ab, which is 2 billion miles from Polaris. Much farther away, near the top of the illustration, is the wide companion Polaris B. Polaris B is located approximately 240 billion miles from Polaris A. The two companion stars are the same temperature as Polaris A, but are dwarf stars. The wide companion star is visible in small telescopes. It was first noticed by William Herschel in 1780. The close companion, Polaris Ab was known to exist from measurements of a wobble in Polaris, caused by the gravitational tu

Galaxy NGC 660 in Pisces - Polar ring galaxy NGC 660 in Pisces - The galaxy NGC 660 is located about 20 million light years ago in the constellation Pisces. It is a polar ring galaxy, a fairly rare type of galaxy that features a ring of gas and dust almost perpendicular to the main galactic plane. Image made with a telescope 61 cm in diameter. NGC 660 is described as being a “” polar ring””” galaxy. Another remarkable picture of this rare type of galaxy was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope - the example in this case is NGC4650A. These galaxies are believed to have formed from the collision of two galaxies in the past. In the case of NGC 660 it would appear that our perspective is inclined from the axis of the disk so that the foreground portion of the ring does not cross the plane in the middle - but instead towards one side. The central region of this galaxy is considered a “” starburst”” due to the extreme amount of luminous star formation.This galaxy is estimated to be 24 million

Galaxy NGC 660 in Pisces - Polar ring galaxy NGC 660 in Pisces - The galaxy NGC 660 is located about 20 million light years ago in the constellation Pisces. It is a polar ring galaxy, a fairly rare type of galaxy that features a ring of gas and dust almost perpendicular to the main galactic plane. Image made with a telescope 61 cm in diameter. NGC 660 is described as being a “” polar ring””” galaxy. Another remarkable picture of this rare type of galaxy was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope - the example in this case is NGC4650A.

Dragon Constellation - Constellation of Draco - Dragon Constellation with part of the Big Bear and Little Bear. Draco (the Dragon) is said to represent Ladon, the multi - headed dragon slaughtered by Hercules, an act necessary to obtain the golden apples from the garden of Hesperides as the 11th of his 12 labours. Other ancient, dragonocentric legends exist. The constellation itself is rather indistinct with few bright stars, but it is a large and rambling construction wrapped around the north celestial pole. It extends from close to the Pole Star to more than 40 degrees of delination south of it and wanders over 11 hours of Right Ascension between Hercules and the Big Dipper. It is the 8th largest constelation in terms of area, which is over 1000 square degrees. This image also contains the constellation of Ursa Minor

Cepheus is a representation of King Cepheus of Ethiopia, who has stellar connections, being husband to Cassiopeia and the father of Andromeda. It is a large northern constellation of 588 square degrees, 27th out of 88 in size and is best seen in the early evening in November. It is distinguished by having two unusual stars that are easily seen. Delta Cephei is the prototype for an intrinsically bright class of regularly pulsating variable stars whose period of variability is closely related to their absolute magnitudes. The brightest stars have the longest period, so distance can be estimated by measuring the period and the apparent magnitude of a star. And these stars are bright, so the method can be extended to nearby galaxies. Mu (u) Cephei is an extremely red, irregular variable star easily seen in binoculars. This too is a prototype, of
