Cetus, The Whale, is an ancient constellation of late autumn, between Pisces and Taurus, although its brightest star, beta Ceti, is farther to the south.
Alpha, while the principal star of the whale's head, isn't the constellation's brightest star. This is beta, farther to the south. In between these two is the spectacular Mira, the most famous of all variable stars.
