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.
Messier 74 (also known as NGC 628 and Phantom Galaxy) is a large spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation Pisces. [ a ] It is about 32 million light-years away from Earth. [ 6 ] The galaxy contains two clearly defined spiral arms and is therefore used as an archetypal example of a grand design spiral galaxy . [ 7 ]
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 .

Eta Piscium (η Piscium, abbreviated Eta Psc, η Psc) is a binary star and the brightest star in the constellation of Pisces, with an apparent visual magnitude of +3.6. [2] Based upon a measured annual parallax shift of 9.33 mas as seen from Earth, [1] it is located roughly 350 light-years distant from the Sun in the thin disk population of the ...
Psi 1 Piscium (Psi 1 Psc, ψ 1 Piscium, ψ 1 Psc) is a binary star in the constellation Pisces.It is approximately 280 light years from Earth, based on its parallax. [1]The two components of Psi 1 Piscium are both A-type main-sequence stars.
