MYTH
The constellation represents Cepheus, the king of Ethiopia and Cassiopeia’s husband in Greek mythology. Zeus placed him in the sky after his tragic death because he was descended from one of Zeus’ loves, the nymph Io. Cepheus ruled not the modern-day Ethiopia, but the stretch of land between the southeastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea, the area that contains parts of the modern-day Egypt, Israel and Jordan.
Cepheus’ wife Cassiopeia was a very vain woman. Once, she boasted that she was more beautiful than the Nereids (sea nymphs, one of them the wife of the sea god Poseidon), which angered the nymphs and Poseidon, who then sent a sea monster, represented by the constellation Cetus, to ravage Cepheus’ land.
Cepheus turned to an oracle for advice on how to prevent utter disaster and the oracle told him that the only way to appease Poseidon was to sacrifice his daughter Andromeda to the monster. Desperate, Cepheus and Cassiopeia did this, leaving their daughter chained to the rock for Cetus to find. Luckily, the hero Perseus found the princess first, rescued her and killed the monster. Later, he claimed Andromeda as his bride.
Perseus and Andromeda were celebrating their wedding when Phineus, Cepheus’ brother, turned up, claiming that she had been promised to him first. Phineus and his followers asked that Andromeda be turned over to them, but Cepheus refused them and there was a fight. Perseus tried to fight off all his opponents, but he was sorely outnumbered and had to use the head of Medusa to turn his enemies into stone. Unfortunately, the king and queen did not look away from the Gorgon’s head in time and were turned to stone, too.

DO MITO DE ANDROMEDA E PERSEUS:
DO MITO DE ANDROMEDA E PERSEUS:
A Constelação de CETUS, a Baleia ou Monstro Marinho
Cetus representa o monstro marinho enviado por Netuno para devorar Andrômeda.
A Constelação de Pegasus, o Cavalo Alado
Dizem que Pegasus nasceu a partir do sangue da Medusa quando Perseus cortou fora sua cabeça. Mais tarde, o cavalo foi domado e cavalgado por Bellerofonte que se cansou das questões pertinentes à Terra e tentou voar em direção aos céus porém caiu. Pegasus, no entanto, continuou sua cavalgada, entrando no céu e tomando seu lugar entre as estrelas.
A Constelação de Cassiopeia, a Rainha Invejosa, a Mulher Sentada
Andrômeda era a esposa do rei Cefeus, da Etiópia, e mãe de Andrômeda. Ambas eram belíssimas mas alguns dizem que Cassiopéia era muitíssimo invejosa da beleza de sua filha... e espalhou o boato que esta era ainda mais bela do que as Nereidas. Um monstro marinho, Cetus, a Baleia, foi então enviado por Netuno ou para devastar todo o país ou somente para devorar Andrômeda, que seria acorrentada a uma rocha. Sabemos que Perseus salvou Andrômeda e com ela se casou. Mas por todos esses acontecimentos, Cassiopeia foi condenada a se sentar em seu trono e rodear o pólo norte de cabeça para baixo, como um lição de humildade.
A constelação de Perseus, o Herói e Campeão
Perseus, era filho de júpiter e Danae, portanto, um semideus a quem Mercúrio deu de presente espada, capa e asas nos pés e também o escudo pertencente à Minerva. O herói matou a Medusa ao cortar sua cabeça e mais tarde, salvou Andrômeda, com quem se casou e teve alguns filhos. Quando retornava para sua casa, ele matou acidentalmente seu próprio avô e endoideceu de tanta dor, mas Júpiter apiedou-se dele e o colocou entre as estrelas.
A Constelação de Cefeus, o pai de Andrômeda
Cefeus, rei da Etiópia, foi levado aos céus conjuntamente com sua esposa, Cassiopeia, e sua filha Andrômeda em comemoração sobre os eventos e realizações atuados por Perseus.
A constelação de Andromeda, a Princesa Acorrentada
Andrômeda era a filha de Cefeus, rei da Etiópia, e de Cassiopeia. Por causa dos boatos espalhados por Cassiopéia de que a beleza de Andrômeda superava a das Nereidas, Netuno enviou um mostro marinho, Cetus, a Baleia, para devastar aquele país. Porém, Netuno fez a promessa de libertar o país dessa devastação caso Andromeda fosse oferecida em sacrifício, sendo acorrentada a uma rocha, para ser devorada pelo monstro marinho. No entanto, Perseus soube desse caso e salvou Andrômeda de seu tormento matando o monstro e o transformando em pedra ao lhe mostrar a cara da Medusa. Ambos, Perseus e Andrômeda, alçaram vôo alto, sobre Pegasus, o cavalo alado, e se dirigiram para o altar onde se casaram.

Cepheus is a constellation in the northern sky. It is named after Cepheus, King of Aethiopia in Greek mythology. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. Its brightest star is Alpha Cephei with an apparent magnitude of 3.5. Delta Cephei is the prototype of an important class of star known as a Cepheid variable. RW Cephei, an orange hypergiant, together with the red supergiants Mu Cephei, VV Cephei and V354 Cephei are among the largest stars known. In addition, Cepheus also has the hyperluminous quasar S5 0014+81, hosting an ultramassive black hole in its core at 40 billion solar masses, about 10,000 times more massive than the central black hole of the Milky Way, making it the most massive black hole known in the universe.
History and mythology
Cepheus was the King of Aethiopia. He was married to Cassiopeia and was the father of Andromeda, both of whom are immortalized as modern day constellations along with Cepheus.[2]
Features
Delta Cephei is the prototype Cepheid variable, a yellow-hued supergiant star 980 light-years from Earth. It was discovered to be variable by John Goodricke in 1784. It varies between 3.5m and 4.4m over a period of 5 days and 9 hours. The Cepheids are a class of pulsating variable stars; Delta Cephei has a minimum size of 40 solar diameters and a maximum size of 46 solar diameters. It is also a double star; the yellow star also has a wide-set blue-hued companion of magnitude 6.3.[3]
There are several other prominent variable stars in Cepheus. One, μ Cephei, is also known as Herschel's Garnet Star due to its deep red colour. It is a semiregular variable star with a minimum magnitude of 5.1 and a maximum magnitude of 3.4. Its period is approximately 2 years.[4] The star is around 11.8 AU in radius. If it were placed at the center of the Solar System, it would extend to the orbit of Saturn.[citation needed] Another, VV Cephei A, like Mu Cephei, is a red supergiant and a semiregular variable star, located at least 5,000 light-years from Earth. It has a minimum magnitude of 5.4 and a maximum magnitude of 4.8. One of the largest stars in the galaxy, it has a diameter of 1,300 solar diameters. VV Cephei is also an unusually long-period eclipsing binary, but the eclipses, which occur every 20.3 years, are too faint to be observed with the unaided eye. T Cephei, also a red giant, is a Mira variable with a minimum magnitude of 11.3 and a maximum magnitude of 5.2, 685 light-years from Earth. It has a period of 13 months and a diameter of 500 solar diameters.[4]
There are several prominent double stars and binary stars in Cepheus. Omicron Cephei is a binary star with a period of 800 years. The system, 211 light-years from Earth, consists of an orange-hued giant primary of magnitude 4.9 and a secondary of magnitude 7.1. Xi Cephei is another binary star, 102 light-years from Earth, with a period of 4000 years. It has a blue-white primary of magnitude 4.4 and a yellow secondary of magnitude 6.5.[4]
Kruger 60 is an 11th magnitude binary star consisting of two red dwarfs. The star system is one of the nearest, being only 13 light years away from Earth.
Deep-sky objects
VisualizationsNGC 188 is an open cluster that has the distinction of being the closest open cluster to the north celestial pole, as well as one of the oldest known open clusters.- The Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946) is a spiral galaxy in which nine supernovae have been observed, more than in any other galaxy.
- IC 469 is another spiral galaxy, characterized by a compact nucleus, of oval shape, with perceptible side arms.
- The nebula NGC 7538 is home to the largest yet discovered protostar.
- NGC 7023 is a reflection nebula with an associated star cluster (Collinder 429); it has an overall magnitude of 7.7 and is 1400 light-years from Earth. The nebula and cluster are located near Beta Cephei and T Cephei.[6]
- S 155, also known as the Cave Nebula is a dim and very diffuse bright nebula within a larger nebula complex containing emission, reflection, and dark nebulosity.
- The quasar 6C B0014+8120 is one of the most powerful objects in the universe, powered by a supermassive black hole equivalent to 40 billion Suns.
Equivalents[edit]Cepheus is most commonly depicted as holding his arms aloft, praying for the gods to spare the life of Andromeda. He is also depicted as a more regal monarch sitting on his throne.[2]
In Chinese astronomy, the stars of the constellation Cepheus are found in two areas: the Purple Forbidden enclosure (紫微垣, Zǐ Wēi Yuán) and the Black Tortoise of the North (北方玄武, Běi Fāng Xuán Wǔ).
In popular culture
- In the TV sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun, the aliens' home planet is stated to be located in a barred spiral galaxy on the Cepheus-Draco border.
- The performer Deadmau5 named his song, "HR 8938 Cephei" after a star in the constellation.

Explanation: This alluring telescopic image looks toward the constellation Cepheus and an intriguing visual pairing of dusty reflection nebula NGC 7129 (left) and open star cluster NGC 7142. The two appear separated by only half a degree on the sky, but they actually lie at quite different distances. In the foreground, dusty nebula NGC 7129 is about 3,000 light-years distant, while open cluster NGC 7142 is likely over 6,000 light-years away. In fact, the pervasive and clumpy foreground dust clouds in this region redden the light from NGC 7142, complicating astronomical studies of the cluster. Still, NGC 7142 is thought to be an older open star cluster, while the bright stars embedded in NGC 7129 are perhaps a million years young. The telltale reddish crescent shapes around NGC 7129 are associated with energetic jets streaming away from newborn stars. Surprisingly, despite the dust, far off background galaxies can be seen in the colorful cosmic vista.

NGC 7129 é uma nebulosa de reflexão situada a cerca de três mil e trezentos anos-luz da Terra na constelação de Cefeu. No seu interior pode-se encontrar um enxame de mais de 120 estrelas jovens. Estas estrelas formaram-se a partir de uma nuvem maciça de gás e poeira contendo material suficiente para formar cerca de mil estrelas como o Sol.1

Explanation: Young suns still lie within dusty NGC 7129, some 3,000 light-years away toward the royal constellation Cepheus. While these stars are at a relatively tender age, only a few million years old, it is likely that our own Sun formed in a similar stellar nursery some five billion years ago. Most noticeable in the sharp image are the lovely bluish dust clouds that reflect the youthful starlight. But the compact, deep red crescent shapes are also markers of energetic, young stellar objects. Known as Herbig-Haro objects, their shape and color is characteristic of glowing hydrogen gas shocked by jets streaming away from newborn stars. Paler, extended filaments of reddish emission mingling with the bluish clouds are caused by dust grains effectively converting the invisible ultraviolet starlight to visible red light through photoluminesence. Ultimately the natal gas and dust in the region will be dispersed, the stars drifting apart as the loose cluster orbits the center of the Galaxy. At the estimated distance of NGC 7129, this telescopic view spans about 40 light-years.
NGC 7142 é um aglomerado aberto na direção da constelação de Cepheus. O objeto foi descoberto pelo astrônomo William Herschel em 1794, usando um telescópio refletor com abertura de 18,6 polegadas. Devido a sua moderada magnitude aparente (+9,3), é visível apenas com telescópios amadores ou com equipamentos superiores.
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_7142
Observational Difficulties
NGC 7142 is located near the reflection nebula NGC 7129, which is a first indication that the cluster may be obscured by an interstellar cloud. Many studies have demonstrated this to be true dating back to the earliest investigations of this cluster. A thorough study of the Cepheus region concluded "that no part of the field may be considered unobscured." [2]
Other astronomers have noted that the reddening across the face of this cluster is likely to be uneven.[3][4][5] The visibility of several background galaxies in the NW corner of the cluster indicate that the obscuring medium may be lowest here.[6]
Estimates of the amount of reddening range from 0.18 magnitudes,[7] to as high as 0.41 magnitudes.[4]
Age
Due to the uncertain amount of interstellar reddening, precise determination of age for this cluster has been especially difficult. Based on NGC 7142's Color-magnitude diagram, it is believed that this cluster is close in age to the old open clusters M 67 and NGC 188 (although age determinations for these two clusters varies wildly in the literature). This makes it one of the oldest open clusters currently known.
Distance
The distance to this cluster has also been difficult to determine, again, owing to the absorption. Estimates for the Distance modulus range from 12.5[4] to 14.5.[6]
Variable Stars
Due to the similarities between NGC 7142 and NGC 188 in both age and density, some astronomers have speculated that NGC 7142 should be home to a high number of a rare type of variable star known as W UMa since NGC 188 has a high number. Crinklaw & Talbert conducted a search for such stars in 1991, but their study only revealed one variable star. However, their investigation only spanned two days, which did not afford enough data points to determine the type of variable. Roughly two more nights of data were appended to the beginning of the Crinklaw & Talbert study but have still not given enough information to classify the variable star.[8]
Other Oddities
Although thought to be an old cluster, NGC 7142 contains a surprisingly high number of blue stars.[3] This runs contrary to the standard model of cluster evolution which predicts that old clusters should be devoid of such stars since bluer stars are more massive and thus evolve and die off faster, which should prevent them from still being present. Such stars are said to be blue stragglers.
Ongoing research
Due to the observational difficulties NGC 7142 presents, it has been an infrequent topic of research. Current known studies include only work being done at the University of Kansas.
NGC 7354 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Cepheus
Located in a relatively vacant region of space about 4200 light-years away and difficult to see using an amateur telescope, the lonesome planetary nebula NGC 7354 is often overlooked. However, thanks to this image captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope we are able to see this brilliant ball of smoky light in spectacular detail.
Just as shooting stars are not actually stars and lava lamps do not actually contain lava, planetary nebulae have nothing to do with planets. The name was coined by Sir William Herschel because when he first viewed a planetary nebula through a telescope, he could only identify a hazy smoky sphere, similar to gaseous planets such as Uranus. The name has stuck even though modern telescopes make it obvious that these objects are not planets at all, but the glowing gassy outer layers thrown off by a hot dying star.
It is believed that winds from the central star play an important role in determining the shape and morphology of planetary nebulae. The structure of NGC 7354 is relatively easy to distinguish. It consists of a circular outer shell, an elliptical inner shell, a collection of bright knots roughly concentrated in the middle and two symmetrical jets shooting out from either side. Research suggests that these features could be due to a companion central star, however the presence of a second star in NGC 7354 is yet to be confirmed.
NGC 7354 resides in Cepheus, a constellation named after the mythical King Cepheus of Aethiopia and is about half a light-year in diameter.
A version of this image was entered into the Hubble’s Hidden Treasures image processing competition by contestant Bruno Conti.

NGC 6946 é uma galáxia espiral localizada a cerca de dez milhões de anos-luz (aproximadamente 3,065 megaparsecs) de distância na direção da constelação do Cefeu. Possui uma magnitude aparente de 9,0, uma declinação de +60º 09' 11" e uma ascensão reta de 20 horas, 34 minutos e 52,7 segundos.
NGC 6946 está ligeiramente obscurecida por matéria interestelar da Via Láctea.
NGC 7380 (also known as the Wizard Nebula) is an open cluster discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1787. William Herschel included his sister's discovery in his catalog, and labelled it H VIII.77. It is also known as 142 in the 1959 Sharpless catalog (Sh2-142). This reasonably large nebula is located in Cepheus. It is extremely difficult to observe visually, usually requiring very dark skies and an O-III filter.
Located 7200 light years away, the Wizard nebula, surrounds developing open star cluster NGC 7380. Visually, the interplay of stars, gas, and dust has created a shape that appears to some like a fictional medieval sorcerer. The active star forming region spans 100 about light years, making it appear larger than the angular extent of the Moon. The Wizard Nebula can be located with a small telescope toward the constellation of the King of Aethiopia (Cepheus). Although the nebula may last only a few million years, some of the stars being formed may outlive our Sun.
