| | (1931-93), 85 Pegasi was found to be a fairly close binary by noted double-star observer Sherburne Wesley Burnham (1838-1921) with the 18-inch refractor at Dearborn in 1878, who listed it in his catalogue as BU 733. | | | Deficient in heavy elements, the system also a high space velocity and appears to be relatively old at around 9.3 +/- 0.5 billion years old based on these and other considerations (Fernandes et al, 2002; Perrin et al, 1977; and Wallerstein and Helper, 1959). | | | Two nearby faint stars in the system's field are believed to be optical companions, as they do not share the system's large proper motion. |

| | The front legs of the winged horse have two stars of the fourth magnitude which have no Bayer designations but which do have Flamsteed numbers: 1 Pegasi and 9 Pegasi. | | | The star Delta Pegasi (labeled "Sirrah" in the map), one of the 4 stars in Pegasus' square, is now considered to be part of Andromeda, (andalpha; Andromedae) and is more usually called "Alpheratz." By moving the star, the square became a triangle attached to a stick body, thus resembling a wing. | | | A star in this constellation, 51 Pegasi, is orbited by the first true extrasolar planet (planets orbiting a star other than the Sun) to have been discovered. |

| | Pegasus is part of the Zodiacal constellation of Aquarius (?) where the first known planet, 51 Pegasi, outside of our own was discovered in 1995. | | | As the discovery has been made in the "Age of Aquarius" this is considered, by some, to be a most significant and spiritual finding. | | | Trismegistic teachings tell that the white horse symbolizes purified passion, which, like other Poseidonic signs, relates to our conscious efforts to gain some control over the often turgid waters of the deep unconscious. |
