Are you curious about the names of stars in the Pisces constellation? This constellation is known as the ‘Fish’, which started out as gods. Delicate streams of stars come together and form a V which is commonly called the Heavenly Knot. This knot ties the fish together by their tails.
While there aren’t many known stars in Pisces, these are a few of the notable ones you will find. If you are an astronomy buff, you will enjoy searching out these stars in the night sky using your binoculars or telescope.
Al Rischa is one of the brightest stars you will find in Pisces. It is located at the point where the fish are tied together. The name descends from the Arabic word for ‘cord’. Al Rischa is actually a double star, with magnitudes of 4.2 and 5.1. These stars orbit each other one time in every 720 years. They are green and blue in color, and contrast magnificently.
