New episode out!

Since Camelopardalis doesn't have a Greco-Roman #myth associated with it, we'll explore other giraffe lore & Wax Poetic to try to create a new myth for this part of the night sky.

Me: The #Disney Hercules is one of my top 3 animated disney movies & the animated tv show is a real vibe

also me, esp. in any episode where #Hercules weasels his way in: AND A BIG 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕to Hercules!!!!!

my feelings about Hercules are clearly v. nuanced.

My ret-constellation for the #constellation #sagitta was to align it with a modern archer (rather than random assorted Hercules stories or an Apollo killing cyclops story) -- some options I considered:

Kate Bishop Hawkeye
Merida from Brave
Robin Hood

... but ultimately, who would be better than Legolas?!

On the one hand, I am glad Hercules got rid of the Stymphalian birds (bc scary). On the other hand, i hate watching a bad-to-mediocre man fail upward so often...

In this week's #podcast on the #constellation Sagitta -- we learned there are at least 3 distinct groups of Cyclopes in #GreekMythology

Here's a primer:

Homeric --> includes the one who was famously killed by "No One"

Hesiodic --> the ones killed by Apollo, who created the lightening bolt (no, i don't know how they square this with Hephaestus)

Wall Builders --> the ones who, uh, built walls...

Listen to this week's episode to see which group is associated with this constellation's lore: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/sagitta-myths-and-retconstellations/

Ever wondered, where exactly is Gaia 17bpi??

Welp, Spitzer has you covered!

Located in our #constellation of the month Sagitta, Gaia 17bpi is a young star that nom nommed (that's the technical term, I'm sure) some of the matter around it, causing the star to brighten.

Gaia 17bpi is a member of the FU Orionis class of stars (as an aside: FU orion *is* a thing I think, but that's not what it means here... you can find out more about that on our #orion #mythology pod here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/orion-myths-and-retconstellations/)
