A binary orange star in the
constellation of Pisces, nearly 130
light years from Earth. Its proximity to
the First Point of Aries earns it the distinction of being just the third star in the
Bright Star Catalog, and the first with a Flamsteed number (HR 1 or BSC 1
is in Andromeda, and HR 2 is in Pisces,
not far in fact from 33 Piscium, but neither of these stars appear in
Flamsteed's catalogue).
