Pablo commented on 08.18.02 Its the constellation Ursa major. It is a large sprawling constellation, the third largest in fact. It's mainly known as the home of the Big Dipper (UK: the Plough), certainly the best known asterism in all the heavens. The constellation offers a number of objects, some well known, others rather obscure, and one star that has recently been in the news as having at least one "temperate" planet circling about it. The stars are fairly bright, and widely dispersed. The Big Dipper/Plough covers only half of the breadth, and the constellation extends much farther south, with its most southerly star, xi Ursae Majoris (Alula Australis), as far south as Leo and Cancer. The name "The Great Bear" seems to have been assigned to the constellation in antiquity, due to its northern latitudes. Only a prodigious bear could live in such a northerly clime. Interestingly, a number of North American tribes (Algonquin, Iroquois, Illinois, and Narragansett, among possibly others) also associated the constellation with a gigantic bear. In Greek mythology Callisto, daughter of King Lycaon, was chosen as a young child to be one of Artemis's companions. Now Artemis was Apollo's sister, patroness of childbirth and protector of babies and of suckling animals. The one thing she prized above all was her chastity; she even asked Zeus for eternal virginity, which he granted. pmills commented on 08.18.02 if you connect the dots in the right order, you get a super-secret image intended only for streetmattress people. noonan commented on 08.16.02 Are those bullet holes? They seem too random to be anything else. Not that I'm an expert in bullet holes or anything. navigate by categorynavigate by submitternavigate by order Choose a Notable CategoryBest CompositionBest POINTBest Use of HumansBest Use of SignageCoolest LandmarksMost Unlikely StreetMattress LocationStreetMattress NOIRStreetMattress With Wildlifesuggest a new category
