Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown, and Corona Australis, the Southern Crown, are two small distinctive constellations in the Northern and Southern Celestial Hemisphere respectively. Both were among the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, Corona Borealis generally representing the crown given by the god Dionysus to the Cretan princess Ariadne and Corona Australis associated with Sagittarius or Centaurus. Corona Borealis boasts the remarkable variable stars R and T Coronae Borealis and the huge Corona Borealis Supercluster, while Corona Australis hosts Epsilon Coronae Australis, the brightest example of a W Ursae Majoris variable in the southern sky, and one of the closest star-forming regions to our Solar System—a dusty dark nebula known as the Corona Australis Molecular Cloud (pictured).
