Stranger in the Dark: Fomalhaut
Fomalhaut is a first magnitude star (1.16) in an unremarkable constellation called Piscis Australis (the Southern Fish). It is the third brightest star known to have a planetary system, after the sun and Pollux, Castor’s twin in Gemini. One of its planets has been imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope at visible wavelengths.
There is no easy way to find Fomalhaut from other navigation stars. It’s about five hours behind Scorpius: when Shaula passes the south meridian, Fomalhaut will be rising in the south-east at 120°. It sets at 240°.
