EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Great Square of Pegasus constellation, located in the northern skies. Known for its significance in Greek mythology as representing the body of the legendary winged horse Pegasus, this celestial square is formed by four prominent stars. In this optical image, we can clearly see each star that forms the Great Square. Alpha Pegasi, also known as Markab, shines brightly at the lower right corner of the square. Beta Pegasi, or Scheat, graces us with its presence at the upper right corner. Meanwhile, Gamma Pegasi (Algenib) illuminates our view from the lower left corner and Alpha Andromedae (Alpheratz) completes this cosmic masterpiece at the upper left. The intricate details captured in this photograph allow us to appreciate not only these individual stars but also their collective arrangement within a vast star field. This awe-inspiring sight reminds us of our place in an expansive universe filled with countless wonders waiting to be explored. As we gaze upon this image from Science Photo Library's collection on astronomy and cosmology, let it serve as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with space and our relentless pursuit to unravel its mysteries through scientific exploration.
