The constellations of Orion, the Hunter, and Taurus, the Bull // Tryggve Dyrvik

Click below for an annotated image (that I painstakingly drew myself) and some etymology for the brightest stars in this image!

In the constellation of Orion, the Hunter:

Along Orion's Belt, we have:

Alnitak (ζ Orionis), a triple star system of blue giant stars. The system is about 1,260 light years from Earth. Its name comes from the Arabic word an-niṭāq meaning "the girdle."

Then we come to Alnilam (ε Orionis), a solitary blue supergiant star about 1,250 light years from Earth. Its name comes from the Arabic word al-niẓām meaning "arrangement."

Finally, we come to the quintuple star system Mintaka (δ Orionis), a series of blue giant stars about 1,246 light years from Earth. Its name comes from the Arabic word manṭaqa meaning "belt."

Forming the head and shoulders of Orion are three stars:

Betelgeuse (α Orionis), a red supergiant star about 500 light years from Earth. Its name comes from the Arabic phrase Yad al-Jawzā’ meaning "the hand of al-Jawzā".

Meissa (λ Orionis) is a binary star system consisting of a blue supergiant and a blue-white giant. The system is about 1,300 light years from Earth. Its name comes from the Arabic phrase Al-Maisan meaning "the shining one."

Bellatrix (γ Orionis) is a binary star system consisting of two blue supergiant stars. The system is about 250 light years from Earth. The name comes from the Latin word bellātrix meaning "female warrior."

In the constellation of Eridanus, the River:

Cursa (β Eridani) is a white-hued giant star about 90 light years from Earth. Its name comes from the Arabic phrase Al Kursiyy al Jauzah meaning "the chair of al-Jawzā".

In the constellation of Taurus, the Bull:

Prima Hyadum (γ Tauri) is a binary star system consisting of two yellow giant stars. The system is about 154 light years from Earth. The name is Latin for "first of the Hyades."

Secunda Hyadum (δ¹ Tauri) is a binary system consisting of two yellow giant stars. The system is about 156 light years from Earth. The name is Latin for "second of the Hyades."

Chamukuy (θ Tauri) is a quadruple star system consisting of a yellow supergiant and a white-hued giant star. The system is about 155 light years from Earth. The name refers to a small bird in the Maya language.

Ain (ε Tauri) is an orange giant star about 146 light years from Earth. The name comes from the Arabic word ain meaning "eye."

Aldebaran (α Tauri) is a binary system consisting of an orange giant star and a red dwarf. The system is about 67 light years from Earth. The name comes from the Arabic word al Dabarān meaning "the follower."

Tianguan (ζ Tauri) is a binary star system consisting of two blue giant stars. The system is about 440 light years from Earth. The name comes from the Chinese word meaning "celestial gate."

Elnath (β Tauri) is a solitary blue-white giant star about 134 light years from Earth. The name comes from the Arabic word an-naţħ meaning "the butting."

In the constellation of Auriga, the Charioteer:

Hassaleh (ι Aurigae) is an orange giant star that is about 450 light years from Earth. Its name was given to it by Czechoslovak astronomer Antonín Bečvář. We don't know what it means.

In the constellation of Gemini, the Twins:

Propus (η Geminorum) is a triple star system consisting of a red giant, a blue-white star, and a yellow giant. The system lies about 380 light years away. The name comes from the Greek word propus meaning "forward foot."

evil Rosalina 💜 design is by @miss-psyson !

[galactic-glamour-girl-posts]

Sparks of Hope From Rosalina's Perspective Is HORRIFYING

Her children are irreversibly physically altered against their will.

She gets possessed, with little to no control over her own body.

Meaning she's forced to do the opposite of her sworn duty - corrupting the cosmos and essentially killing her own children instead of protecting them.

Cursa forces her to absorb the energy of her children not just for the sake of using that energy for herself, but to break Rosalina's spirit so that she stops fighting back against her control.

Given everything we know about Rosalina, this is literally the worst thing that could happen to her.

And yet...

She still puts others before herself, despite that being the reason her and Cursa fused in the first place (remember, Cursa was going for the Lumas for their energy at first, not Rosalina herself).

One of the few times she briefly breaks free of Cursa's control, she creates a portal so her friends can get away whilst giving them a reassuring smile.

When they help her break free permanently towards the end of the game, she specifically makes sure to stay between them and Cursa whilst joining the battle.

The entire game she keeps her cool, remains brave and fights Cursa till the end...

Then again this is the same woman who's first instinct after watching her children sacrifice themselves by flying into a black hole was to info dump to Mario about stars 😅

I guess it's hard to be emotionally scarred by anything when you've seen the universe recreate itself multiple times over.

So, who do you think that mysterious evil trying to capture the sisters for their power is?

I didn't include any of the Paper Mario villains because I feel they should be part of their own universe.

So this is the Cursa I made in Tomodachi Life :))))
