'Pisces' is one of the largest constellations and lies in the first square of the northern sky. They are surrounded by Aries (Aries), Aquarius (Aquarius), Cetus (Whale), Pegasus (winged horse) and Andromeda.

The two fish, also called 'Gemini Pisces' in Roman mythology, represent Venus and Cupid in transformation. To escape from the monster Typhon, they connect each other with a string and transform into fish. The star 'Alpha Piscium', also known in Arabic as 'Alrescha', means 'string' and represents the connection point between the two fishes.

'Eta Piscium' also called 'Kullut Nunu' is the brightest star in this image. It is a bright, luminous, yellow giant star.
