Þjaza augu, the Thiazi’s eyes, is a Norse constellation mentioned in the Rímtǫl glosses, which dates back to the 11th century CE and is an Old Norse calendar of 52 weeks (364 days).

== Concordance, Etymology, History ==

=== Origin of Constellation ===
Bifrǫst (bifrost) is the bridge that extends from the Earth to the heavens (Edda, 1997/2017, p. 26). The Æsir ride across Bifrǫst daily to the well of Urðr at the World Tree and hold council there (Sturluson 2017<ref>Sturluson, S. (2017) The Edda of Snorri Sturluson. Translated by K. Simrock. Bibliographically updated edition. Stuttgart: Reclam.</ref>, p. 29). In literary scholarship, Bifrǫst is identified as a rainbow by day and as the Milky Way by night.<ref name=":0">Persson, J.R. (2017) Norse Constellations. ResearchGate. DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.15662.92483.</ref> However, the Milky Way is already well represented by Yggdrasil, and the translation of Bifrǫst as “shimmering road” <ref name=":0" /> could equally well be interpreted as a stellar formation. The arc-shaped group of stars from Pegasus to Deneb in the Milky Way closely resembles a bridge leading the Æsir to the well of Urðr at Yggdrasil.
