Fomalhaut Signals Autumn's Arrival in the Night Sky
Originally Published 2 months ago — by Space
Fomalhaut, known as 'The Solitary One,' marks the arrival of autumn in the night sky, especially visible low in the southeast during October evenings. It is a bright, bluish-white star located in the constellation Piscis Austrinus, about 25 light-years away, and historically significant as one of the 'Royal Stars.' Its prominence and solitude make it a notable celestial marker for the season.
