| | Pegasus, The Winged Horse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | M15 is located west and a little north of Epsilon Pegasi, or Enif, which marks the hoof of the horse’s front leg. |
 | | One of these, NGC 7331, which is located just north of Eta Pegasi, the star that marks the first bend in the rear leg of the horse, is a spiral galaxy very similar in size and form to our own Milky Way. |
 | | Kappa Pegasi is a very close double star, with a faint, distant companion, consisting of a yellow-white and an orange star; but since they are so close together, we see them, even though large telescopes, as one star. |
