	equuleus facts - about equuleus
		A star such as equuleus is a celestial body of hot gases that radiates energy derived from thermonuclear reactions in the interior.
		Star formation such as for equuleus occurs in molecular clouds, which are large regions of high density in the interstellar medium (albeit less dense than the inside of an earthly vacuum chamber).
		The energy produced by stars such as equuleus radiates into space as electromagnetic radiation, as a stream of neutrinos from the star's centre, and as a stream of particles from the star's outer layers (its stellar wind).

		It exists, perhaps, in a this relation with the fact that the celestial zone follows by the east the dedicated one to the dolphin (Delphinus) and precedes to Aquarius (Aquarius), the fish (Piscis) and the whale (Cetus) which form an uninterrupted series of marine constellations.
		Equuleus, is the smallest constellation of the North hemisphere, indicated by five visible stars hardly at first, ready in delimited form of trapeze to the north and the west with Pegasus and Delphinus to the north and the east and the south with Aquarius.
		One is next to the galactic equator for that reason she is rich in stars and accumulations, although the zone of the sky very is delimited.

	Star Tales – Equuleus
		The actual inventor is unknown; it may have been Ptolemy himself, or one of his predecessors such as Hipparchus in the second century BC.
		Equuleus consists merely of a few stars of fourth magnitude and fainter forming the head of a horse, next to the head of the much better-known horse Pegasus.
		The early mythologists such as Eratosthenes and Hyginus never mentioned this little horse, but perhaps Ptolemy had in mind the story of Hippe and her daughter Melanippe, sometimes told for Pegasus but which seems more appropriate for Equuleus.

	Weasner's Meade ETX Site
		Although Equuleus (the "Little Horse") is either not known about entirely to casual stargazers, or is frequently ignored (you will see why), its partner in the celestial zoo, DELPHINUS (the "Dolphin") is very conspicuous and forms an interesting "asterism" (star pattern) in the summertime skies.
		Equuleus (pronounced "u-QUE-lee-us") looks nothing like a horse....perhaps the early Greek philosophers had a horse left over that they needed to pay tribute to and found this random group of stars "left" over from all the other nearby constellations and decided that would be it.
		The total number at each magnitude is important to understanding the nature and density of many of the meteoric clouds and their tiny fragments that result in the fine meteor displays.
