Mean- while we return to Alpheratz, at the northeast corner of the Square of Pegasus. The name is derived from an Arabic phrase meaning the "Horse's Navel"; but the star is now generally associated with Androm- eda, and is, indeed, the Alpha of that constellation, and shines on the maiden's head. The star Delta (S), in Andromeda, marks her breast, and her extended arms and chained hands are shown by rows and groups of small stars on the north and south. Beta (j3), or Mirach, is in her girdle, a...nd the two small 81 ROUND THE YEAR WITH THE STARS stars northwest of it lead the eye to one of the most wonderful objects in the sky the Great Andromeda Nebula. You may detect it as a misty speck with the naked eye; an opera-glass will show you plainly that it is a little luminous cloud. In Chart X its position is indicated by a little circle near the star Nu (v). In a telescope it appears of a spindle shape, with a bright axis, but the best views of it are afforded by photography. On the photographic plate, exposed continuously for hours to its rays, it gradually builds up its marvellous form the great central condensa- tion, with the encircling spirals, emerging in all their strange splendor.
