Constellation Cetus
One of the largest of all constellations sometimes considered a whale (Cetus is Latinized Greek for the word whale) . However, there is nothing whale-like in the creature of the Perseus myth we are representing here.
Cetus is a constellation of the southern sky associated with & near the ‘water group’ - Aquarius, Pisces & Eridanus.
This constellation contains the prototype long-period variable star Mira (Omicron Ceti, pronounced ‘meara’), translated from Latin to mean ‘wonderful’, so named by Johannes Hevelius. Mira is a huge star and also a binary. Mira A being a giant and Mira B a white dwarf.
