About Pisces
The Fish. Currently contains the vernal equinox point, where the Sun crosses the celestial equator in March. The Circlet asterism is the most recognizable feature. Pisces is faint but large. Alrescha is the star where the two fish are tied together by a cord. The spiral galaxy M74 is seen face-on, showing beautiful spiral arms. The vernal equinox will move into Aquarius around 2,600 AD.
