Legacy of the Hunting Dogs πŸ“œ

πŸ•

1687 | HEVELIUS

Johannes Hevelius created this constellation from faint stars beneath the Big Dipper, imagining them as two dogs, Asterion and Chara, helping the Herdsman.

COR CAROLI | CHARLES' HEART

The brightest star, Cor Caroli, was named to honor King Charles I. It is a famous double star that looks like a "diamond in the sky" through a small telescope.

THE WHIRLPOOL | M51

This constellation holds the Whirlpool Galaxy, the first celestial object recognized to have a spiral structure, located 23 million light-years away.

"Did you know? Despite being called 'Hunting Dogs,' the two stars that make up the main shape are actually very far apart in space and not related at all!"

COR CAROLI (ALPHA)

Meaning "Charles's Heart," it is a beautiful binary star. It was named to honor King Charles I. It is approximately **110 light-years** away.

ALPHA DATA
Magnitude: 2.89

WHIRLPOOL GALAXY

Home to **Messier 51**, a stunning spiral galaxy interacting with a smaller companion. It was the first galaxy to have its spiral structure recognized.

DEEP SKY
Object: M51

LA SUPERBA

One of the reddest stars known. It is a carbon star (Y Canum Venaticorum) whose atmosphere is so rich in carbon it absorbs almost all blue light.
