Perseus is a constellation in the northern sky, named after the Greek mythological hero Perseus. It is one of the 48 ancient constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy.
This photo of the constellation Perseus shows the main "naked eye" stars that make up the shape of this "Hero - Son of Zeus" - enlarged in their true color. This is a natural photographic technique with the effect created during a single exposure of the film. It also reveals deep detail in this region of the sky including many deep space nebulae and star clusters. Perseus lies near the plane of The Milky Way which is responsible for the gentle glow of faint star clouds mixed with darker patches of accumulated dust and non-luminous gases.
