Description Ourania - The muse of Astronomy

From [link]

OURANIA (or Urania) was one of the nine Mousai, the goddesses of music, song and dance. In Classical times she came to be titled the muse of astronomy and astronomical writings. In this guise she was depicted pointing to a globe with a rod.

She was a daughter of Zeus & Mnemosyne.

My interpretation places Ourania in her top floor outlook gazing out over an amazing night sky. It's not Earths sky of course, it's the sky of the Olympic realm, the home of the gods. Here she can stay the whole night looking for comets and constellation. These days she sometime uses a telescope too, although gods and goddesses have great eyes, with the ability to read a laptop text like this on the moon if they use divine magical focus.

Oh, that's hard! These days in Sweden the internet is the only thing that works. Thanks to the weather disaster we don't have running trains or planes anymore and food stores in the countryside are running out of food.

Thanks my friend I've always been interested in astronomy too, all the way since I was a little kid and learned all the planets by heart

Yeah?.....I recall having numerous telescopes, astral globes, a home planetarium machine thingy and countless books on astronomy. Hell one of My favorite songs is called astronomy. By Blue Oyster Cult....*L*

I had mostly books, and my dad had a telescope which we used to look at the moon with. And at Jupiter with moons and so on. It was cool and back then I really believed I was going to go to these places when I grew up. Little did I know that the Americans were more or less going to cancel their space programme, the Russians were going bankrupt and the rest not being ready to take over.
