Cassiopeia (constellation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (731 words)
Cassiopeia is a northern constellation which Greek mythology considered to represent a vain queen.
Cassiopeia was the site of Tycho Brahe's supernova of 1572 (SN 1572), and is also the location of Cassiopeia A, the strongest radio source in the sky (other than the sun).
Cassiopeia A is the remnant of a supernova which apparently occurred in about 1667, although there is no record of it having been observed.
