The constellation of Corvus
The constellation of Corvus (the Crow). Corvus is a small constellation which lies south of the west part of Virgo and is easily recognised by a quadrangle figure made by its four brightest stars (centre). In the Greek mythology a white crow was sent by the god Apollo to watch over his lover, Coronis. The bird failed to prevent Coronis from being unfaithful, and for this was cursed by Apollo who turned it black and put it in the sky for ever

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing constellation of Corvus, also known as the Crow. Nestled south of Virgo in the western sky, Corvus is easily identifiable by its distinctive quadrangle shape formed by its four brightest stars at the center. In Greek mythology, this celestial formation holds a fascinating tale. Legend has it that Apollo, the god of music and light, dispatched a white crow to keep a watchful eye over his beloved Coronis. Tragically, despite its vigilant efforts, the crow failed to prevent Coronis from straying from her loyalty. Enraged by this betrayal, Apollo cursed the once-white bird and transformed it into an eternal black figure adorning our night sky. This awe-inspiring image not only offers us a glimpse into ancient folklore but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with both science and mythology. As we gaze upon these distant stellar bodies suspended above us, we are reminded of our place in the vast cosmos. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable print for all astronomy enthusiasts seeking to explore and appreciate our universe's wonders. Let your imagination soar among these stars as you delve into their mysteries and contemplate their significance in shaping human understanding throughout history.
