THE GREAT SQUARE OF PEGASUS

The Great Square of Pegasus (to the right side of the picture) rises like a great diamond over the eastern horizon, the reddish giant star Scheat at the top just to the right of the top center edge. The left-hand star of the Square, Alpheratz, is actually in Andromeda, and begins a lovely string of stars in that constellation that goes down and to the left and off the picture. At the right-hand corner is Markab, at the bottom, Algenib.

Pegasus has a star with an orbiting PLANET.
