In the hair of this beautiful woman you can find the constellation Centaurus (“The Centaur”).
The woman we pictured is determined to fight for her own future. She is a mother, she has responsibilities and she takes strength from her past.
Lucy means “light”. Her original name is BPM 37093. She is a tiny white dwarf star, smaller than the Earth. Its carbon atoms are believed to have formed a crystalline structure, and because diamonds are also carbon arranged in crystalline formation, astronomers have nicknamed this star Lucy – after the Beatles song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
We chose this constellation also because the Centaur hosts the closest star to our Solar System, Proxima Centauri, and the third brightest star system in the night sky Alpha Centauri. To observe it you need to be in the southern hemisphere or in tropical regions of the northern one.
Myth
According to Ovid, the Roman poet Centaur constellation represents Chiron, the wise centaur who mentored many well-known Greek heroes: Achilles, Heracles, and Apollo’s son Asclepius.
Chiron was the son of the Titan king Cronus and the sea nymph Philyra. Cronus seduced the nymph, but two were surprised by Cronus’ wife Rhea. To evade being caught in the act, Cronus turned himself into a horse. As a result, Philyra gave birth to a hybrid son. (source: constellation-guide.com).
