Pegasus

A constellation of the northern hemisphere, near Cygnus, represented as the winged horse of Greek mythology.

It is the seventh-largest constellation in the sky, and its main feature is a square outlined by four stars, one of which (Alpherat) is actually part of the adjoining constellation Andromeda. Diagonally across is Markab (or Alpha Pegasi), about 100 light years distant.
