AGANIPPE

Wallpaper Description:

Aganippe is the name of a fountain and the naiad (a Crinaea) associated with it in Greek mythology. Aganippe was the daughter of Ternessus. The well is in Boeotia, near Thespiae, at the base of the mountain Helicon. It was created by the hooves of Pegasus and was associated with the Muses as a source of poetic inspiration.
The night sky and studies of it have a historical place in both ancient and modern cultures. In the past, for instance, farmers have used the state of the night sky as a calendar to determine when to plant crops. Many cultures have drawn constellations between stars in the sky, using them in association with legends and mythology about their deities.
The visibility of celestial objects in the night sky are affected by light pollution. The presence of the Moon in the night sky has historically hindered astronomical observation by increasing the amount of ambient lighting. With the advent of artificial light sources, however, light pollution has been a growing problem for viewing the night sky.
