... The cones in your eyes respond more to color, but depend on having bright light, whereas the rods behave well in low light, but do not detect colors. Thus, galaxies and nebulae (low-light objects) typically will appear as black and white objects to human eyes, even when viewed through a telescope. N ...

Determining Distances to Other Galaxies
... If stars in the disk of a spiral galaxy are on slightly eccentric orbits, and the position angle of these ellipses vary with radius, a spiral-shaped density wave can be formed from a set of nested ovals. Density wave theory is really based on the premise that mutual gravitational attraction of stars ...

Cassiopeia (constellation)
Cassiopeia is 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 today. It is easily recognizable due to its distinctive 'M' shape when in upper culmination but in higher northern locations when near lower culminations in spring and summer it has a 'W' shape, formed by five bright stars. It is bordered by Andromeda to the south, Perseus to the southeast, and Cepheus to the north. It is opposite the Big Dipper.In northern locations above 34ºN latitude it is visible year-round and in the (sub)tropics it can be seen at its clearest from September to early November in its characteristic 'M' shape. Even in low southern latitudes below 25ºS is can be seen low in the North.
