Stars have long been a clock for humans.
A shining compass showing the way at night.
"You see the Rake or Three Kings (Orion's belt). It serves us shepherds as a clock."
- Alphonse Daudet, "The Stars"
Of those stars,
the brightest ones were given marvelous stories and gorgeous names.
Names of a soldier, a beauty, a king, and a man of power
And
some stars were given neither a name nor a legend,
but they shined all the time.
They were located
somewhere between the north of Pegasus and the beautiful Andromeda,
shining dimly.
In the 17th century,
an astronomer, Johannes Hevelius, drew lines on them and gave it a name.
He named the constellation
the Lizard.
Among many heroes, a lizard settled down.
The reason for its delayed naming was
"to fill in the empty spaces between the splendid constellations."
Empty spaces were
the responsibility given to the lizard of the sky.
Then
a long period of time passed.
Modern astronomers started to observe the Lizard.
They discovered that the seemingly dim and dark stars of the Lizard
were releasing very powerful energy.
And somewhere in the constellation,
it is assumed that there we will find a galaxy with a giant black hole.
