Taking a sip from his beer bottle, Dean pointed up to a cluster of stars above his head. "I like looking at the stars and figuring out the constellations," he began; "I mean, look at that one up there …"

"That is the constellation of Cepheus," Castiel murmured with a smile; "It was first identified by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy and is named after a Greek mythological King. It is composed of a several ultramassive stars of the red supergiant and orange hypergiant classes which are collectively known as Cepheid Variables.

It is said that the constellation contains a massive black hole equivalent to 40 billion Earth solar masses, which means it is one of the largest black holes theorised by mankind."

Dean stared silently at his friend's doleful blue eyes and sighed.

"Yeah, whatever Cas. I was going to say it looks like a dog wearing a pointy hat."
