  Mizar
Mizar B is also a type A main sequence star separated from A by 14 arc seconds, which corresponds to a projected separation of 340 AU or more than 8 times the diameter of the orbit of planet Pluto.
Spectral analysis reveals Mizar A itself to be a binary star consisting of two main sequence A2V stars orbiting around each other with a period of 20.5 days in a rather elliptical orbit having a semimajor axis of about 27 million miles.
Spectral analysis shows Mizar B itself to be a binary star, so that there are at least four stars in the Mizar system.

Mizar, at a distance of 78 light years from the Sun, and Alcor at 81 light years, while appearing to be a double star, are actually only an optical double.
The components of the Mizar multiple star system are Mizar A (Zeta 1 Ursa Majoris at magnitude 2.27) and Mizar B (Zeta 2 Ursa Majoris at magnitude 3.95), located 14.42 arc seconds away.
Between Mizar and Alcor is a fourth star, Sidus Ludoviciana, shining at magnitude 8, which is a field star that is not even part of the Ursa Major cluster.

In this paper we report on the Mizar codification of formal concepts and concept lattices being part of the theory of formal concept analysis, a mathematical theory that formally describes the notion of concepts and concept hierarchies.

 A New View Of Mizar
Compare the first reliable measurement of Mizar made by James Bradley and reduced to the epoch 1755 – position angle 143.1 degrees and angular distance 13.88 arcseconds, with the result of the Hipparcos satellite: 152 degrees and 14.43 arcseconds (epoch 1991.25).
Her task was to devise a suitable system of spectral types and classify objective-prism spectra of bright northern stars taken with the 11-inch Clark refractor.
Although Mizar A was not the first spectroscopic binary to be measured by this innovative technique – this priority belongs to bright Capella – it was observed by the first (and for many years also the last) functional astronomical interferometer, the 20-foot constructed by Michelson and Francis G. Pease at Mount Wilson.

Mizar is a proof-checking system used to build the Mizar Mathematical Library (MML) - a long term project aiming at building a comprehensive library of formalized mathematical knowledge.
The main goal for the design of Mizar (an effort led by Dr. Andrzej Trybulec) has been to create a formal system close to the mathematical vernacular used in main-stream mathematical publications with the requirement that the language be simple enough to enable computerized processing, in particular mechanical verification of correctness.
The continual development of Mizar has resulted in a language, software for checking the correctness of texts written in it, numerous utility programs, a centrally maintained library of mathematics, and an electronic hyper-linked journal, all of which are available on the Internet (http://mizar.org).

The two stars form an optical pair in the night sky and are not truly a binary system.
Mizar shines at magnitude 2.3 while Alcor shines at fourth magnitude, and the two are separated by 11.5 arc minutes in the sky, with a separation in space of 10 light years.
As seen in the picture however, Mizar does have a true fourth magnitude companion and both Mizar and it's companion have been shown spectroscopically to have a companion star.

Several other "firsts" are associated with this constellation; the star Mizar was the first double star to be discovered through a telescope (1662), the first star to be photographed (1857), and the first star to be identified as a spectroscopic binary (1889).
Mizar and its visual companion, however, are a true double star system.
Mizar is again a spectroscopic binary, but its closer companion cannot be seen with an optical telescope.

Mizar and Alcor form an optical pair; in other words, they appear in the same line of sight from Earth but are actually far away from each other.
This companion is actually a member of the same star system as Mizar.
This system is even more complicated than it seems to the eye: both Mizar and its companion are double, although this has been determined only through spectroscopy.

Using a real example of a Mizar article, I will show how proofs are presented to the system in quite a similar style to ordinary mathematical textbooks, using the idea of `proof skeletons'.

They're systems of multiple stars so far from Earth that to the naked eye, each system appears to be a single entity.
Most standard sources credit Italian astronomer Giovanni Battista Riccioli with being, in 1650, the first to resolve Mizar (through a telescope) into Mizar A and Mizar B, though recent research indicates that the honor might belong to Benedetto Castelli and date back to 1617--less than a decade after the invention of the telescope.
Then in 1889, Harvard astronomer Edward C. Pickering examined the lines in the stars' spectra and found that one of the two, Mizar A, was itself a binary, thereby bestowing on it the distinction of being the first spectroscopic binary.

Alcor and Mizar are only a fifth of a degree apart, but Alcor is over six times fainter than Mizar.
Mizar itself is actually part of a triple star with Mizar A and Mizar B only 14.4 seconds of arc apart, while the third member of the family, Mizar C, is over 700 seconds away.
In turn, Mizar A and B are each a double star, but the stars are so close together that they cannot be separated with even a powerful telescope.
