	Rukbat
		Rukbat means 'knee' in Arabic, the language in which most stars are given formal names.
		Rukbat's standard astronomical name is Alpha Sagittarius, which should mean that it is the brightest star in that constellation, but it's not--in fact there's several brighter than it--I'm trying to find out what the deal with this is. Anne reportedly picked this star from a National Geographic article because she liked the name.
		Rukbat is about 118 light-years away from us, and anyone traveling from our solar system to Rukbat would be going almost directly towards the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.

		Circling the star Rukbat are five planets, two asteroid belts, a rogue planet on an accentric orbit captured by the gravity well in recent millennia (the Red Star) and an Oort cloud at the perimeter of the stellar system.
		The fourth (which has a cluster of little moons) and the fifth (a dark world) are not close enough to Rukbat to make existence comfortable, a are seperated from each other and the sun by the two asteroid belts, which cuts down the sunlight the planets recieve.
		On the third planet are found seas and oceans of liquid water and threee large land masses (formed by heavy volcanic and plate-tectonic activity), this planet is known as Pern to its inhabitants.

	Rukbat.
		Rukbat is from Arabic Ar-Rukbah (1), "The knee" of the Archer Sagittarius.
		Variously written Rucba, and Rucbar, from Ulug Beg's Rukbat al Rami, "the Archer's Knee"; in some early books it is Al Rami, the Archer himself.
		This star, alpha, and the two betas were known as Al Suradain, the two Surad, desert birds differently described, — by some as "larger than sparrows" and variegated fl and white (magpies?); by others as yellow and larger than doves.

		Seen from orbit, Rukbat is a wonderful expanse of endless oceans, tropical islands and small continents, with woodlands and green valleys aplenty.
		Though purifiers could help negate the more nauseating effects of Rukbat's freshwater table, the soil, saturated with the byproducts of the native life forms, could not sustain the colonists' crops.
		To support the mining communities that sprang up around the extensive mountain chains, the inhabitants of Rukbat had to import all of their foodstuffs and obtain a healthy number of water purifiers.

	Fictionwise eBooks: Dragonseye [Dragonriders of Pern 11] by Anne McCaffrey
		Rukbat, in the Sagittarian sector, was a golden G-type star.
		When men first settled on Rukbat's third planet and called it Pern, they had taken little notice of the stranger planet, swinging around its adopted primary in a wildly erratic orbit-- until the desperate path of the wanderer brought it close to its stepsister at perihelion.
		When such aspects were harmonious, and not distorted by conjunctions with other planets in the system, the wanderer brought in a life form that sought to bridge the space gap to the more temperate and hospitable planet.

		Rukbat's third planet was colonized some 200 years after the initial survey team first reported it fit for human habitation.
		For eight years the colonists worked hard to claim the planet as theirs.
		It has been a long Interval - a conjunction of Rukbat's five planets has kept the Red Star from passing close enough to drop Thread on Pern for nearly four hundred years.

	Random House \| Books \| On Dragonwings by Anne McCaffrey
		That phenomenon had continued to engross some of the space and scientific personnel, but Paul Benden had lost interest when Ezra Keroon, captain of the Bahrain and the expedition’s astronomer, had assured him that the nebulous mass of deep-frozen meteorites was no more than an astronomical curiosity.
		And though their destination in the Rukbat system was rich enough in ores and minerals to support an agriculturally based society, it was poor enough and far enough from the center of the galaxy that it should escape the greed of the technocrats.
		The last two months, as the three ships had decelerated into the Rukbat system, had been made tedious with meetings and discussions which seemed to Paul to be nit-picking over procedures that had been thoroughly thrashed out seventeen years before in the planning stages of the venture.

		Also, he cannot seem to find the words to woo another femme, and try for a full-time relationship- He thinks he has a reputation for being uncommital, and thinks that he has no chance at getting a mate.
		As this, he remained for several turns, as a matter of fact, standing for several clutches until, finally, at a clutch he stood at the age of sixteen, he impressed the bronze Aogth.
		And thus this remained, until, at the age of 25, he and now giant Aogth were very good contenders for the Weyrleadership at Fort.

	Books At Transworld - Book extract from The Skies Of Pern
		When mankind first discovered Pern, third planet of the sun Rukbat, in the Sagittarian Sector, they paid little attention to the eccentric orbit of another satellite in the system.
		Settling the new planet, adjusting to its differences, the colonists spread out across the southern, most hospitable continent.
		Dragonriders and harpers explain to those who will listen that the erratic orbit of the Red Planet takes it through the Oort cloud that surrounds the Rukbat system - on its way into the system and again on its way out - attracting to itself the mycorrhizoid spores that fall on Pern as Thread.

	Sagitarius
		The sun passes through this constellation from late December to late January, so it is best viewed in the nights of summer time.
		It was the Romans who named the constellation Sagittarius ("sagitta" is Latin for "arrow"), although several stars carry Arabic names that identify just which portion of the constellation they represent: Alpha Sagittarii is named Rukbat: (Rukbat al Rami = Archer's knee), and beta Sgr is Arkab (Tendon).
		The bow is outlined by three stars: Lambda Sgr: Kaus Borealis = the northern (part of the) bow.
