EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Pegasus constellation, known as the winged horse of Greek mythology. With its head held high and wings spread wide, Pegasus dominates the night sky in all its celestial glory. The image is oriented with north at the top, allowing us to appreciate this ethereal beauty from a familiar perspective. In this stunning composition, we are also treated to other celestial wonders. At the lower right corner, we spot Saturn shining brightly like a beacon against the dark backdrop. Towards the upper right side lies Pegasus' distinctive square formation, guiding our gaze further into this cosmic tableau. As we explore beyond Pegasus' boundaries, our eyes meet neighboring constellations and stars that form an intricate tapestry across space. From Scheat (Beta Pegasi) to Markab (Alpha Pegasi), Algenib (Gamma Pegasi), and Alpheratz (Alpha Andromedae) in Andromeda constellation - each star adds its own brilliance to this mesmerizing scene. Atop it all sits M31 or the Andromeda Galaxy - a hazy blob that reminds us of our place within an expansive universe teeming with countless galaxies yet to be discovered. To complete this visual symphony, Pisces stretches gracefully from upper left to lower right; its ring of stars just above and right of Saturn providing a recognizable touch amidst these astronomical wonders. This awe-inspiring print by Science Photo Library invites us on a journey through time and space – reminding us of both
