		The antiquity of the use of this star is attested to by the fact that it is found represented polaris sportsman 500 on the earliest known Assyrian tablets.
		Although Polaris is a relatively bright star and is conspicuous since no other stars of similar brightness are close to it, it is nowhere near the brightest; it is actually the 46th brightest star in the night sky.
		The main star is a Population II cepheid variable, the pulsations of polaris pool cleaner which cause it to cycle steadily.

		Capella (Î± Aur / Î± Aurigae / Alpha Aurigae) is the brightest star in the constellation Auriga and sixth brightest star in the sky.
		The stars were probably of spectral class A during their main sequence, similar to Sirius, and are in the process of becoming red giants in a few million more years as they continue to expand, cool, and brighten.
		Capella was the first star to be imaged using a long baseline optical astronomical interferometer in observations by COAST in 1995.

		Sirius is the brightest star in the nighttime sky, with a visual apparent magnitude of -1.46. It is located in the constellation Canis Major. Its name comes from the Latin sirius, from Greek(seirios, "glowing"). It is situated in the eye of the greater dog Canis Major, therefore it is known as the 'Dog Star'.

		Astronomy (Greek: αστρονομία = άστρον + νόμος, astronomia = astron + nomos, literally, "law of the stars") is the science of celestial objects and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere, such as stars, planets, comets, aurorae, galaxies, and the cosmic background radiation.
		Abell 39 is extremely spherical in shape, although a mystery for astronomers is that the central star does not lie exactly at the centre of the sphere, but is displaced by about 0.1 light years.
		The existence of Earth's galaxy, the Milky Way, as a separate group of stars was only proven in the 20th century, along with the existence of "external" galaxies, and soon after, the expansion of the universe, seen in the recession of most galaxies from us.
