Berenice's Hair

An astrologer, consulted concerning the supposed theft, solemnly pointed to a comet rapidly coming into view, and declared that the gods had placed Berenice’s hair among the stars, there to shine forever in memory of her wifely sacrifice.

These were formed into a constellation and called Berenice’s Hair.

Just north of Virgo's head will be seen the glimmering of Berenice's Hair.

Between Berenice's Hair and the tail of the Bear you will see a small constellation called Canes Venatici, the Hunting-Dogs.

This is the little constellation called Berenice's Hair.
