Easily recognisable from its 'square' of stars, Pegasus is a large ,well-populated constellation with several points of interest, including Helvetios or 51 Pegasi, which is thought to have a planet in orbit. A number of extragalactic phenomena are also to be found here: C30 or NGC 7331, for example, is a spiral galaxy with a structure very similar to our own Milky Way.
