What is 14 Pegasi

14 Pegasi is a white A-type star peering into the great rectangle of Pegasus, the winged horse of the autumn sky. At 275 light-years away, its glow does not dominate the constellation, but it elegantly accompanies that figure every European seafarer learned to recognise during the cold months. The light reaching Earth tonight left its atmosphere when the first Newtonian telescopes were beginning to open the sky to a sharpness unknown until then.

Where it is and when to see it

14 Pegasi lies in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is visible to the naked eye under a dark sky. Its best month of the year is September, when it culminates around midnight.

From London it culminates about 69° above the horizon.
From New York it culminates about 79° above the horizon.
From Sydney it culminates about 26° above the horizon.

It can be seen from anywhere north of 60° S.

It ranks no. 34 in brightness among the 98 stars of Pegasus in our catalogue. To find it, start from Enif, the brightest: it lies about 20° away (a fist at arm's length covers about 10°).

The light you see today left it about 270 years ago.
