Its story

21 Piscium is a white A-type star in the Fishes, about 304 light-years away from Earth. Pisces traces two long threads tied together just south of the Great Square of Pegasus, and among its faint stars this A-type clearly stands out for its clean, bluish tone. Pisces also harbours the vernal point —the abstract mark where the Sun crosses the celestial equator each Northern Hemisphere spring.
