Seated Queen of Cassiopeia Constellation

Colorization of the seated queen of Cassiopeia. A constellation in the northern sky, named after the vain queen Cassiopeia in Greek mythology, who boasted about her unrivalled beauty. Cassiopeia was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century Greek astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations defined by the International Astronomical Union. It is easily recognizable due to its distinctive 'W' shape, formed by five bright stars.
