An astrologer, consulted concerning the supposed theft, solemnly pointed to a comet rapidly coming into view, and declared that the gods had placed Berenice’s hair among the stars, there to shine forever in memory of her wifely sacrifice.

These were formed into a constellation and called Berenice’s Hair.

Between Berenice's Hair and the tail of the Bear you will see a small constellation called Canes Venatici, the Hunting-Dogs.

Just north of Virgo's head will be seen the glimmering of Berenice's Hair.

And so for centuries the world has recognized the constellation of Berenice's Hair.
