	Alpheratz - MSN Encarta
		Although Alpheratz officially belongs to Andromeda, it is most easily identified as the bright star at the northeastern corner of the Great Square of Pegasus, the Horse, one of the most recognizable star patterns in the northern sky.
		Alpheratz is fairly close to the earth’s solar system at a distance of 100 light-years.
		Alpheratz’s surface temperature is about 11,000° C (about 19,000° F), which is about double the surface temperature of the sun and gives the star a white color.

		Alpheratz, Algenib, the wing of Pegasus, and Caph of Cassiopeia, the beneficent, generous, and guiding hand of the queen, are referred to as the three guides (because of their alignment at one time marking Earth's prime meridian).
