	Alpha Ceti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Menkar, Menkab, Mekab, Monkar, Al Minhar, 92 Ceti, HR 911, BD +03°419, HD 18884, SAO 110920, FK5 107, HIP 14135.
		Menkar is an old and dying star, long past the hydrogen and perhaps even past the helium stage of its stellar evolution.
		Menkar is currently a red giant star but as it begins to burn its carbon core it will likely become highly unstable before finally shedding its outer layers and forming a planetary nebula, leaving a relatively large white dwarf remnant.

	Menkar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Though Menkar represents the jaws of the great beast, it inappropriately received a name that from Arabic means "the nose" or "nostrils." Just across the line from second magnitude to third (2.53), Menkar is the second brightest star in the constellation, first place going to solid second magnitude Deneb Kaitos.
		Menkar is a cool red class M (M1.5) giant with a temperature of only about 3700 Kelvin.
		Menkar is then on its way to becoming another great unstable variable like its constellation-mate Mira, its fate to lose its outer hydrogen envelope and turn into a fairly massive white dwarf similar to the companion to Sirius.

	Cetus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its discovery in 1596 by David Fabricius further dented the supposed unchangeability of the heavens and lent support to the Copernican revolution.
		Other stars in the constellation include α Ceti (Menkar); β Ceti (Deneb Kaitos), brightest in the constellation; and τ Ceti, the 17th closest star to Earth.
		As such, together with other features in the Zodiac sign of Pisces (including Pisces itself, as well as prominent stars behind Cetus), it may have formed the basis of the myth of the capture of Cerberus in The Twelve Labours of Herakles.
