Constellation Hercules
Kodak Pro 400 PPF - 6 x 7 cm medium format camera w/ 90mm lens
The stars of the night sky have been divided and mapped since ancient times. The results of this mapping are the imaginative shapes and legends of the constellations.
Hercules is one of the most famous of the classical heroes. He was the half mortal son of Jupiter and had great strength. As the legend goes, at the end of his life he was rewarded for his bravery by being placed in the sky. He is depicted in this constellation leaning forward with his arms raised in battle. A beautiful globular star cluster, M13 - the Hercules cluster, is in this constellation
