Constellation Perseus (The Hero)

Perseus or The Hero is one of the 88 constellations modern astronomers have divided the sky into. It's part of the Perseus constellation family. Perseus is best seen in December (from latitudes +90° to -35°)

The constellation Perseus straddles the Milky Way between Cassiopeia and Andromeda. A yearly meteor shower from the constellation makes a notable sky event. The Perseids come from the debris left by the comet Swift-Tuttle. Perseus is the half-mortal son of Zeus and a favorite of Athena who gave him many gifts. The star Argol is said to represent the eye of Medusa.
