Circular miniature map focusing on the constellations Pegasus and Andromeda. Printed colour.
PEGASUS (The Flying Horse)
If the line joining the Pole Star with the right-hand star of CASSIOPEIA is prolonged downwards for a little more than its own length, it passes through two stars which form the left- hand top and bottom corners of a great square.
From the two right-hand stars of this square two lines of stars shoot out to the right, the upper line shooting upwards from the upper- most star, and the lower line downwards from the lower star. These form the constellation of PEGASUS. The top left-hand corner of the square does not belong to PEGASUS, but to ANDROMEDA.
PEGASUS, the Flying Horse, is seen upside down in our latitudes. The higher line is the fore-leg, the lower line is the neck. A star at the nostril forms an angle with the neck, and the little stars under the upper line represent the other fore-leg.
Pegasus appeared from the body of the Medusa when her head was struck off by Perseus. He rose up to heaven, and was employed to carry thunder and lightning for Jupiter. Bellerophon tried to ride up to heaven on his back, but Pegasus threw him off in mid-air.
