- ALDERAMIN (Alpha Cephei). Though Cepheus (the King) is famed in mythology as father to Andromeda, it is far from being one of the sky’s more prominent ancient constellations, its brightest star, Alderamin, just barely second magnitude (2.44).
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
John 1:15 KJV
