Ome

Its story

Omega Piscium marks the point where the celestial cord ties together the two fishes of the constellation, exactly where the old iconography places the knot that binds them. It is a yellow-white subgiant, slightly hotter than the Sun and roughly twenty-two times more luminous, drifting toward the end of its maturity. Its light set out a little over a century ago, around 1920, before crossing 104 light years to meet our eyes.
