Cassiopeia

Cassiopeia is a prominent northern constellation named after the vain queen of Greek mythology. Notable for its distinctive “W” asterism formed by five bright stars, it lies along the plane of the Milky Way and contains many deep-sky objects, including the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A and star‑forming regions such as IC 63.
