About Nashira
FINDING NASHIRA To find Nashira, first look for the Summer Triangle. Next, locate Saggitarius's arrow. If you follow the arrow, you will find a clump of stars that is Saggitarius. Near Saggitarius is is a kind of kite shaped star formation. The brightest star to the far left of this "kite" is Deneb Al Gedi. Look to the right of this star and you will see Nashira.

MYTHOLOGY Capricorn is also known as the Goat Fish or Goat. In the zodiac mythology, it is said that the god Pan was fleeing from the monster Typhon. He jumped into the Nile river when running. The part of him that was submerged in the river supposedly turned into the tail of a fish, whilst the his top half remained a goat.

Parallax
> CONVERTING TO LIGHT YEARS To convert my parallax angle to the distance my star is from Earth, I first knew the parallax angle. The parallax angle of Nashira is 0.0290. After I knew that, I divided 1 by 0.0290, which is 34.482. After rounding that number to 34.48, I multiplied it by 3.262, which is the formula for figuring out how many light years away the star is. The answer is 112.5 light years.
 * 1) Look at the star from two different sides of the Earth
 * 2) Measure the angle that it appeared to move
 * 3) Divide 1 by the angle
