The Constellation Pegasus
The square of the constellation Pegasus, which is called “the huge square of the autumn”, is a representative constellation in the autumn sky and is a guide to find other constellations. The constellation Pegasus can easily found through the constellation Cassiopeia, which is well known. The alpha star of the Pegasus is located in the lower left corner and is called Markab. It is a 2.5th-magnitude star, which is 150 light years away from the solar system. Other stars that form the square are the beta star, gamma star, and the Alpheratz, the alpha star of the Andromeda. All of these are second magnitude stars, but they are bright enough to form a square in the autumn sky where the first magnitude stars do not appear. As a very small constellation, the Equuleus is located in the front bottom of the Pegasus. The Equuleus is a small constellation consisting of dark stars that are lower than 4th magnitude stars. The Equuleus, which is located in front of the front hooves of the Pegasus, is reminiscent of a baby horse running in front of its mother.
