It doesn't, it looks like a "W".
The constellation Cassiopeia is traditionally depicted as a "W" shape due to its five prominent stars, which outline the figure of the mythological queen. However, as the Earth rotates and the stars move across the sky, their positions change, causing the constellation to appear more distorted or squiggly. Additionally, the perspective from which we view the stars can affect their arrangement in our line of sight, contributing to this altered appearance.
The shape of constellations like Cassiopeia appears to change over time due to the movement of stars within our galaxy. Stars are not fixed in position; they move in three-dimensional space, resulting in gradual shifts in their relative positions as seen from Earth. Additionally, the perspective from which we observe these stars can also change, contributing to the perceived alteration in the constellation's shape over centuries.
Orion is in between Canis the Dog with the brightest star in the sky, and Taurus. The easiest location is when setting because they line up on the west horizon in a straight line. Taurus to the west looks like a sling-shot Y.
An imaginary line drawn from the two stars at the front of the Big Dipper (Dubhe and Merak) points toward Polaris, the North Star. This line extends through the "pointer" stars, leading to Polaris, which is located in the constellation Ursa Minor. Sirius, on the other hand, is located in the constellation Canis Major and is not aligned with this line.
While the Leo constellation itself is not commonly used for navigation, it can be used to find the North Star (Polaris) by tracing an imaginary line through the stars that form the Lion's back. This can help orient stargazers and navigators in the night sky.

A line that is drawn not straight but with lots of bends.
Draw a squiggly line under the 0.
Cassiopeia is the name of a vast constellation of stars. Constellations don't have opposites.If a constellation is required that is in the opposite position (universe-wise) to that of Cassiopeia, one first has to decide where the centre of the universe is. Then traject a line from Cassiopeia through that point to its opposite on the other side of the universe.Cassiopeia Andromeda is the name of a species of jellyfish. What is the opposite of a jelly fish?It is also known as the 'upside down' jelly fish. Perhaps the name of a jellyfish that is not 'upside down' may be a good opposite.Cassiopeia is also the name of a Queen in Greek Mythology.Her husband was King Cepheus. Whether or not a husband is the opposite of his wife is debatable.
It is a line that twists and turns, not astraight line.
The simplest explanation is the shape of a bean, with a squiggly line in a circle in it.

itd the key with the squiggly line which looks like this ~
ewan??
I drew a squiggly line.
It is in fact not a squiggly line.. But a small outline of the state. This is done to combat counterfeitting and also as a tracking method.
