Pegasus Constellation - Home to uhtthirataadhi and poorattadhi star

I cannot but keep repeating the obvious on how different the morning sky constellations were in comparison with the leisurely evening sky. Pegasus, Lacerta, Pisces, Aries, Cygnus, Andromeda and much more.

Of course, the early morning sky gives us a clear view of our planets, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn too.

Pegasus Constellation:

Pegasus is a constellation in the northern sky, named after the winged horse Pegasus.

Located it on the South east to mid south sky at 4:55 am.

Alpha (Markab), Beta (Scheat), and Gamma (Algenib), together with Alpha Andromedae (Alpheratz, once also designated Delta Pegasi) form the large asterism known as the Square of Pegasus.

The Hindu stars Poorattadhi and Uththirataddhi stars are mapped to Pegasus. One star from Andromadae constellation maps to Utthiratadhi.

In Hindu astronomy, the Great Square of Pegasus contained the 26th and 27th lunar mansions. More specifically, it represented a bedstead that was a resting place for the Moon.
