Cephas is a name used in the New Testament of The Bible to refer to the Apostle Peter. The name "Cephas" is of Aramaic origin and means "rock," which aligns with Jesus' declaration that Peter would be the rock upon which He would build His church (Matthew 16:18). Cephas is also mentioned in the context of early Christian communities and is associated with Paul’s letters, where he is referred to as Peter.

Who worships Cepheus?

No one "worships" Cephus. Cephus in Greek mythology was the King of Aethiopia, most famous for being Perseus' father-in-law. Perseus was (as a son of Zeus) a demigod, but Cephus was "just some guy"... admittedly a king, but other than that, nothing really special.

How do stars form a design?

It just so happens that humans are really, really good at seeing apparent order in randomness. Most asterisms don't look much like what they supposedly represent... Orion does look a bit like a guy with a sword on his belt, and it's possible to convince yourself that you see a bull's horns in Taurus, but Leo looks more like a plow than a lion, Cephus (supposedly a king) looks like a kid's drawing of a house, Cassiopea (Cephus' queen) looks like a W. and Cancer doesn't look like much of anything.(While we're at it: Sagittarius is clearly a teakettle.)
