EDITORS COMMENTS
Cassiopeia and the Pole Star: A Celestial Journey Through Time and Space This Cig Card, dating back to 1928, transports us to the vast expanse of the cosmos, inviting us to explore the wonders of the night sky. The image on the card features the constellation Cassiopeia, named after the legendary queen of ancient Greek mythology, and the Pole Star, also known as Polaris. Cassiopeia, one of the most recognizable constellations in the northern hemisphere, is depicted in all its glory. Its distinctive W-shape, formed by five bright stars, has captivated stargazers for centuries. The constellation's mythological origins are rooted in the tale of Queen Cassiopeia, who boasted about her beauty, leading the sea god Neptune to punish her by transforming her into a chair-shaped constellation. In the foreground of the card, the Pole Star, the northern celestial pole's brightest star, shines steadfastly. For navigators throughout history, the Pole Star has been an essential guide, offering a fixed point in the night sky to help determine direction. This Cig Card not only showcases the natural beauty of the night sky but also highlights the rich historical and cultural significance of these celestial phenomena. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the awe and wonder that the stars have inspired in humans for millennia. The intricate details of the stars and their constellations, captured in this 1928 Cig Card, continue to mesmerize us and serve as a reminder of the vast, mysterious universe that lies beyond our reach.
