In 1881, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus were grouped together in Pisces.
The Circlet is a very striking group forming a pentagon. The glass reveals two faint stars in addition, making the figure seven-sided or elliptical in form.
As to the number of the stars as classified according to their magnitude, that is their brightness, it may be mentioned that there are approximately 20 stars of the first magnitude, 65 of the second, 300 of the third, and 450 of the fourth. We cannot see stars fainter than the sixth magnitude with the naked eye.
TRIANGULUM (trī-an´-gū-lum)—THE TRIANGLE. (Face East.)
Location.—A line drawn from the star γ Pegasi to Algol in Perseus passes through β Trianguli.
The triangle is clearly defined and a beautiful figure. It lies just below Andromeda, and above Aries.
Triangulum is a very ancient constellation, being formerly named Deltoton, from the Greek letter Delta Δ.
