Pisces is a constellation of the zodiac. Its vast bulk – and main asterism viewed in most European cultures per Greco-Roman antiquity as a distant pair of fishes connected by one cord each that join at an apex – are in the Northern celestial hemisphere .
Alpha Piscium (α Piscium) is a binary star [6] system in the equatorial constellation of Pisces.Based upon parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft, it is about 151 light-years from the Solar System.
The edges of the superclusters and Laniakea were not clearly known at the time of Laniakea's definition. [6] Since then, the study of the edges of the supercluster and of structures beyond them has substantially improved. [15] [16] Laniakea is itself a constituent part of the Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex, a galaxy filament.
The Perseus–Pisces Supercluster is one of two dominant concentrations of galaxies (the other being the Local supercluster) in the nearby universe (within 300 million light years). This supercluster also borders a prominent void, the Taurus Void , and is part of the Perseus–Pegasus Filament which stretches for roughly a billion light years .
Iota Piscium (Iota Psc, ι Piscium, ι Psc) is a single, [10] F-type main-sequence star located 45 light years from Earth, [2] in the constellation Pisces.Its spectral type is F7V, which means that it is somewhat larger and brighter than the Sun, but still within the range considered to have the potential for Earth-like planets.
ζ Piscium (Latinised to Zeta Piscium) is the system's Bayer designation.The designations of the three constituents as Zeta Piscium A, B and C, and those of A's and B's components - Zeta Piscium Aa, Ab, Ba and Bb - derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
