a confusing line[edit]
"It is also listed as a suspected variable star. However, the star is not variable." That might make sense to an astronomer, but it's confusing to me. Was it once suspected, but has now been shown to be otherwise? And where is/was it listed? Maybe someone who knows can just fix up the wording. 4.248.218.96 00:04, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with this. I read that line several times and still don't understand how it can be suspected to be variable, but not be variable. 198.232.29.99 21:34, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- I removed the second part of that statement because it also made no sense to me. The star is listed in several catalogs as a possible variable star and I even found a journal reference regarding measuring its variability. I could not find any sources which cast this into doubt let alone showed that is was non variable. If someone finds one and wishes to cite it... Bobprime (talk) 19:59, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
The star radius is "1.33 solar" in the table and "1.9 solar" in the text. Which one is correct? GenyAncalagon (talk) 15:49, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Photo Available?[edit]
It would be cool. Also, a chart that tells you where you can look up and see it, depending on the time of the year. 2602:306:BDA0:97A0:466D:57FF:FE90:AC45 (talk) 17:48, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
P.S. An astronomy team may have to donate a pic to Wikimedia, due to copyright issues. Just go to Wikimedia commons and there should be an online form plus an upload button.2602:306:BDA0:97A0:466D:57FF:FE90:AC45 (talk) 17:54, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
