Cygnus

You find Graffias among Cygnus’s stars. 

 

“Yes! That’s right. Graffias doesn’t belong in Cygnus.” 

 

“Let’s put it back in the beta β star space.” Gently, Pollux places Graffias back into Scorpius.

Cygnus

“Cygnus is known as the swan constellation. Its stars form the shape of a graceful swan flying across the sky. It contains the star Deneb which is one of the brightest stars in the night sky.”

 

In Roman mythology, Phaethon, the son of Helios the sun god, demanded to ride his father's sun chariot for a day. However, he was unable to control the chariot, forcing Zeus to destroy the chariot to save the world. However, Phaethon was killed and his body fell into the river.” 

 

“His boyfriend, Cygnus, tried for many days to dive into the river and get Phaethon’s body. The gods felt sorry for Cygnus so they turned him into a swan and placed him among the stars.”
