Serpens or Ophiuchus
[edit]I am not very sure about the location of the star. Some said it is located in Serpens, others in Ophiuchus.--Rochelimit (talk) 06:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Why is it square?

- The square is just a projection of its actual shape onto a two-dimensional plane, plus a bit of human eye-brain pattern-recognition. The shape is likely to be two 45° cones touching at the central star, almost side-on to use so that the ends of the cones appear as parallel straight lines.
