51 Pegasi b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting the Sun-like star 51 Pegasi. Its discovery in 1995 marked the first confirmation of an exoplanet around such a star. This “hot Jupiter” planet’s existence was determined through radial velocity measurements, offering scientists a crucial early example fo...
LL Pegasi is a carbon-rich star within a prominent spiral nebula. This young, protoplanetary nebula formed due to continuous mass ejection from a binary star system. The resulting structure, characterized by distinct dust rings, offers astronomers a unique opportunity to study the processes of stell...

Scheat, officially designated Beta Pegasi, is a red giant star in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It forms the upper right corner of the Great Square of Pegasus, a prominent autumn asterism. The star is a semi-regular variable, meaning its brightness fluctuates over a roughly predictable peri...
Why this score
Great Square red giant and variable, familiar marker with moderate scientific interest.

The Battery of Volta was a short-lived constellation proposed by the English polymath Thomas Young in 1807, placed between Delphinus and Pegasus. It depicted a voltaic pile and commemorated Alessandro Volta's invention of the electric battery. Lacking institutional adoption, it never entered lasting...
Why this score
Interesting scientific commemoration, but late, artificial, and essentially rejected by later star-map tradition.
