A clanging sound from the bunker's kitchen awoke Dean from his slumber. He and Cas had gotten Sammy back a few days ago and they had collectively decided to take sometime to regroup. Dean rubbed his eyes roughly with the backs of his hands and practically rolled out of bed. He sleepily adjusted his pajamas, which consisted of a loose ACDC T-shirt and some plaid pajama pants, and stumbled out of his room and into the hallway. Looking in to the Sammy's room and seeing him eagle spread, taking up

Cassiopeia is the constellation I have chosen. It is a very interesting constellation, comprised of various stars named with a Greek letter followed by Cassiopeiae (e.g. Alpha Cassiopeiae). The stars also have various traditional names of other origin, for instance Alpha is traditionally called Shedir from Arabic. I chose the constellation partly because I like the name, but it also has interesting origins and I am glad I looked up more details about it. Cassiopeia is not just comprised of stars

It has a W shape formed by five bright stars. It is part of the 48 constellations written in Ptolemy's work in the 2nd-century and still part of the 88 modern constellations today.
