Epsilon Pegasi

Epsilon Pegasi

I chose this star because it is the brightest star in my favorite constellation Pegasus. The name of the star also means nose in Arabic, because it is located on the muzzle of the actual Pegasus. As a star it is said that it is almost at the end of its time, yet it is not yet known if the star will explode or die off.
