Compared with her husband Cepheus, Cassiopeia is much more dazzling and easy to identify. In the south of Ursa major, there is a letter W consisting of five bright stars, which is Cassiopeia. Connecting these five stars with the other two stars is like a noble queen sitting in a luxurious chair. α is her chest, β and θ are her arms, ε is her feet, ζ is her face, and γ is her waist.
Among several clusters in Cassiopeia, the open cluster M52 is a cluster with high star density, with about 100 stars, which is very suitable for novices to observe.
The best observation time of Cassiopeia is 65438+ 10 month, 165438+ 10 month. Location: Northeast quadrant.
