💜🌟 HISTORY LESSON 🌟💜

In Greek mythology, Urania (Οὐρανία, ‘heavenly’ or ‘of heaven’) is the muse of astronomy. Like all muses, she is the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne (memory). Commonly she is represented dressed in blue, color that represents the celestial vault, having close to herself a terrestrial globe, in which she measures positions with a compass that takes in one of her hands. She has a crown or diadem formed by a group of stars, of which also her mantle is full. At her feet, some mathematical instruments are scattered, which is why some consider her the muse of mathematics and of all the exact sciences.

Hope you like it! 💜
