Description
The "Hair of Berenike" is a Group of several Thousand Galaxies close to the North Pole of the northern Sky. It is 300 Million Lightyears away, hence difficult to detect.
It is named after the greek Rulers Ptolemaios Wife Berenike of Egypt. It is not widely known, that a greek Elite (Ptolemeans) ruled Egypt just before the Romans conquered it. Berenike is said to have beautiful Hair, which she offered to Aphrodite for bringing her Husband back from War safe and sound. The Offering was accepted and the Hair set into the Nightsky. (Ironically it was he Tail-Tassel of the Constellation "Lion" before!)
This is just an artistic Interpretation of the Coma Berenices! ;)
