Coma Berenices

Coma Berenices is a constellation in the northern sky, translated from the Latin as "Berenice's Hair". It was named after Queen Berenice II of Egypt who sacrificed her long hair as a votive offering. Coma Berenices is mentioned in the short story "Polaris" by H. P. Lovecraft, where the unnamed narrator observes the constellation as it "shimmers weirdly far off in the mysterious east."
