Cepheus 1681: A Celestial Monarch's Legacy in the Night Sky This image, titled Cepheus 1681, presents a breathtaking view of the constellation Cepheus, named after the ancient king of Ethiopia or Palestine. Known for his historical significance as the husband of Cassiopeia and the father of Andromeda, Cepheus is a celestial figure steeped in mythology and intrigue. The constellation, which can be found in the northern hemisphere, is home to a multitude of fascinating phenomena. Among them is the beautiful double cluster, NGC 40 and NGC 41, located in the heart of the constellation. These two open star clusters, also known as the "Etna and Mauretania" or "Collinder 399," are a delight for astronomers and stargazers alike. The name Cepheus is deeply rooted in history, originating from Greek mythology. According to the legend, Cepheus was a just and noble king who married Cassiopeia, the vain queen of Ethiopia. Their story is one of love, loyalty, and sacrifice. When Cassiopeia boasted about her beauty, she angered the sea god Neptune, who sent a monster to ravage their land. To save her people, Cepheus sacrificed his daughter Andromeda to the monster as a sacrifice. The gods, moved by his devotion, intervened and saved Andromeda, turning the monster into a constellation and placing Cepheus, Cassiopeia, and Andromeda among the stars. This stunning photograph print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, invites us to explore the rich history and beauty of the night sky. As we gaze upon the stars of Cepheus 1681, we are transported to a time when kings and gods ruled the heavens, and the wonders of the universe were a source of endless fascination and inspiration.
