DESCENDANT OF DAVID FABRICIUS (1564-1617)
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
The constellation Cetus or the Whale
made me think about the fact that
sometimes things repeat themselves
in different forms.
Yes, for Captain Ahab,
the white whale Moby-Dick was
what the variable star Mira Ceti
(the first of its kind reported in history)
had been for the astronomer David Fabricius!
