THE NORTHERN CROWN

JEWEL OF THE NORTH:

The Northern Crown

A small semicircular constellation representing the crown given by Dionysus to Ariadne. Its stars are bright and easy to spot between BoΓΆtes and Hercules.

PRIMARY STAR
Alphecca

The brightest jewel (Mag 2.2).

Legacy of the Northern Crown πŸ“œ

πŸ‘‘

ARIADNE'S CROWN

According to legend, the crown was forged by Hephaestus out of fiery gold and red gems. When Ariadne died, Dionysus threw the crown into the sky to immortalize her.

ALPHECCA | THE GEM

The brightest star, Alphecca (Gemma), represents the central jewel of the crown. It is an eclipsing binary star system, similar to the famous star Algol.

T CORONAE BOREALIS

Known as the "Blaze Star," this is a rare recurrent nova. Every 80 years or so, it explodes and suddenly becomes visible to the naked eye for a short time!

"Did you know? In Australian Aboriginal astronomy, this constellation is called 'woomera,' representing a device used for throwing spears!"

ALPHECCA (ALPHA)

The "bright one of the dish" is a binary system about **75 light-years** away. It is an eclipsing binary star, similar to Algol, but with a much smaller change in brightness.

Magnitude: 2.22

T CORONAE BOREALIS

Known as the "Blaze Star," it is a rare recurrent nova. It usually sits at magnitude 10 but can suddenly explode to magnitude 2, becoming as bright as Alphecca.
