constellations

Constellations are recognized not only by their patterns, but also by the bright stars in them. Is there any page that lists both the constellations and their prominent stars (or vice versa). I found individual stars and constellations lists, but not a page that has got both lists, maybe as a table. Jay 20:50, Sep 17, 2003 (UTC)

Sugggestions

Each star must be foundable by its Bayer designation. So must Alpha Lyrae have a redirect to Vega.

You are right, although there are only a few articles that use the proper name instead of Bayer letter. I'm quite sure that all the necessary redirects already exist.--JyriL ^talk 11:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Can someone post lists of navigational stars

There are two main lists of navigational stars. One contains 57 stars. The other contains 173. If someone has got them, please could they add them to the article. Thanks! J 82.99.106.24 15:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• List of selected stars for navigation - the 57 plus Polaris - is already in this article. That list mentions that there are an additional 115 stars which are listed in Bowditch. I agree with you that it would be appropriate to add that list to Wikipedia. TomS TDotO (talk) 04:45, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Stars nearer than 20 ly?

Shouldn't there be a list of stars nearer than 20 light years? For some reason, there is a gap between 5 parsecs (16.3 light years) and 20 light years. TomS TDotO (talk) 22:32, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Here is a list from 0-21 light years until Wikipedia's gap is filled http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/astro/nearstar.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.74.105.124 (talk) 22:29, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Stars outside the Milky Way / stars in other galaxies

Is there a list of known stars outside the Milky Way / stars in other galaxies?

Is there a certain term for such stars?

--S3rvus (talk) 21:05, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Extragalactic stars. -- Mocha2007 (talk) 23:44, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I want to add some notable stars above 500 ly.

As i am adding more information to the existing list i see many notable stars not enter the lists as they are like 555ly, etc. So, I want to add those lists. I am thinking of two options, first is to create a single new article to represent them all and the second option is to add a sublist to the list of stars within 450-500 ly. Anyone can gave there ideas. Abdullah1099 (talk) 12:16, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

I thik the first is better QuanChanUwU (talk) 12:35, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

I think is the article would be notable at all and can it follow all guidelines. Abdullah1099 (talk) 12:37, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Yea i think too QuanChanUwU (talk) 12:43, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

I think it's better to consult with other users. Abdullah1099 (talk) 12:45, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

But who?, I dint khow any Wikipedia editors QuanChanUwU (talk) 12:49, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

There are many users like Fram. Believe me after uploading everything he will put your article into AfD. Abdullah1099 (talk) 12:52, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

oh ok QuanChanUwU (talk) 12:54, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

If you like the idea and have sufficient links of sources. You can start making List of star systems above 500 light-years. I would definitely help you in the work. Abdullah1099 (talk) 12:57, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

You can use my works in the article List of star systems within 450-500 light-years for starting the works Abdullah1099 (talk) 12:59, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Where would i find the star? (Im just new btw srry if it annoy you) QuanChanUwU (talk) 12:59, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

No, Infact Stars are my one of the favourite things that i do on Wikipedia especially stars with like Wolf-Rayet, O-type, Planetary systems. For Stars you can find stars by seeing catalogues there are many stars you can find in categories and from many lists on Wikipedia already and others from many websites. Abdullah1099 (talk) 13:04, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very very much for that,im gonna working on that right now QuanChanUwU (talk) 13:12, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, I will also definitely work together with you in making the list. Abdullah1099 (talk) 13:15, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Also add the star outside the Milky Way is a good idea QuanChanUwU (talk) 12:36, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Infact i already started doing second option on List of star systems within 450-500 light-years. If you want you can see that there. Abdullah1099 (talk) 12:39, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

or we can also merge part 250-500 as well QuanChanUwU (talk) 12:46, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

link of the article Abdullah1099 (talk) 12:47, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

where Abdullah1099 (talk) 12:55, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

List of star systems within 450–500 light-years

List of star systems within 400-450 light-years

List of star systems within 350–400 light-years

List of star systems within 300–350 light-years

List of star systems within 250–300 light-years QuanChanUwU (talk) 12:58, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

I know but other than first one other would make it out of sequence Abdullah1099 (talk) 13:00, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
