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

Brilliant video. I am an amateur enthusiast and your video was really helpful. I don’t mind the photos being of less than high def (as somebody commented). It is what you narrated with all your photos, which is very good for audience like me to whom this is helpful.

Cassiopeia was Ethiopian king and he was a father of andromeda.and these constellations named after them because of their great contribution in discovering constellations.

This is the first constellation I've ever seen. It was 2 am, and I was smoking with my cousin in the balcony. This was the only constellation we could ever see due to light pollution. Only the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta were visible. I though it was a ladle

[boarini]

Wow, Cassiopeia really has a lot of wonders. I hope that you can make more of these videos for southern hemisphere constellations.

I love space!Thank you for doing this video!

[leandromantovani]

Great! Always the best videos on Learn the Sky! 👌😉

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.

Dear "Learn the sky" Your blue circling of IC10 location at video time 14:40 disagrees with where you said it was located at video time 10:50 Thank you for your excellent videos. kind regards, John
