Great deep-dive once again! Of all the ways something in space could kill us, I think the GRB is the one that would most likely do us in if it ever were to happen.

I like this article. I especially appreciate the multicultural myths surrounding the Hercules constellation. I admit that Western myths dominate my own understanding of the celestial sphere, so I appreciate your broadening my perspective.

This is such a great post Rebel Stargazer! And it's so fascinating to learn that Heracles was once probably upright!! Thanks so much for your shout out for the podcast. Not sure how soon our Heracles episode will drop but until it does, I'll direct listeners to this post!!
