  • The Great Square of Pegasus: Identifying a Prominent Star Pattern
    There is no constellation officially recognized as "Square". However, there are a few possible interpretations:

    * The Great Square of Pegasus: This is the most likely answer. It's a prominent asterism (a recognizable pattern of stars) within the constellation Pegasus, forming a near-perfect square. It's composed of the stars:

    * Alpheratz: Alpha Andromedae

    * Scheat: Beta Pegasi

    * Markab: Alpha Pegasi

    * Algenib: Gamma Pegasi

    * Other Square-shaped Patterns: There are other less well-known square-like shapes in the sky, but they aren't widely recognized as "Square" constellations:

    * The Square of Ursa Major: The four stars at the end of the "Big Dipper" bowl form a rough square.

    * The Square of Corvus: This is a smaller square-shaped asterism within the constellation Corvus (the Crow).

    If you can give me more context about where you heard the term "Square" constellation, I might be able to give a more specific answer.
