Alpheratz: Decan 26 - Liberation & Empathy (November 25-December 4)
Alpheratz is the only star in two constellations simultaneously, Delta Pegasi and Alpha Andromedae, a dual citizenship formalized in 1930. 97 light-years, photons from 1928, chemically peculiar with abnormal mercury and manganese. November 25-December 4: liberation, dual identity, and the discernment between chains and roles.
Enif: Decan 25 - Aspiration & Vision (November 15-24)
The photons arriving from Enif tonight left the orange supergiant in 1335, Ibn Battuta was in the midst of his great journey, the Black Death twelve years away. Expanded to 185 times the Sun's radius, Enif marks the nose of Pegasus: the forward-sensing point. November 15-24.
Markab: Decan 24 - Foundation & Legacy (November 5-14)
The photons arriving from Markab tonight left the cornerstone of Pegasus in 1892, the year Ellis Island opened and the foundations of modern America were being laid. 133 light-years, spinning at 125 km/s and holding structure. November 5-14: build systems that outlast their builders.
Scheat: Decan 23 - Innovation & Risk (October 26-November 4)
The photons arriving from Scheat tonight left a dying red giant in 1829, the early Industrial Revolution, before photography, before the telegraph. 196 light-years, pulsing between magnitude 2.31 and 2.74 on a 43-day cycle, shedding mass through stellar winds. October 26-November 4: innovation and risk at the edge.
