  Number the Stars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Number the Stars is a novel about the Holocaust of the second world war by Lois Lowry.
It focuses around ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen, who is living in Copenhagen in 1943 and is caught up in the events surrounding the Rescue of the Danish Jews.
The title is taken from Psalm 147, in which the writer of the psalm relates that God has numbered all the stars in the universe.

For transits in binary systems, where both stars are similar in brightness, the transit depth is approximately one-half that for a transit occurring in a single-star system.
This model was normalized to the star density in the FOV from the USNO-A1.0 data base (Monet,1996) to provide the number of stars per magnitude interval, spectral type and luminosity class.
The model was cross-checked with the spectral distribution of all stars with b<10° in the catalog of Positions and Proper Motions (Röser and Bastion, 1988); against the distribution of dwarfs and giants of the Bahcall and Soneira model; and against the number of M-dwarfs in the Catalog of Nearby Stars (Gliese and Jahreiss, 1991).

The westernmost star in Centaurus would be 1 Centauri, the star immediately to the east of that would be 2 Centauri, et cetera.
The only way to pin down a given star, then, is to give its right-ascention and declination in a given year (or "epoch") out to the greatest accuracy possible, and use that as your reference point when looking into the various catalogs.
Note that variable stars have their own naming convention which, while being somewhat convoluted, is at least consistent across the astronomical community.

 SparkNotes: Number the Stars: Context
Number the Stars is one of more than twenty young adult novels Lowry has written.
As Lowry says in the Afterword to Number the Stars, Annemarie Johansen is a fictional little girl, but she grew out of the stories of Annelise Platt's own childhood.
Though events of Number the Stars are based in actual historical fact, the specific story is Lowry's own mixture of fiction, oral histories, and research.

 Number of Stars in the Milky Way
Yet while the number of ideas and answers to the mystery of the sky is unfathomable, so is the number of stars out there.
Stars are giant spheres of gas, mainly hydrogen and helium.
So while the stories and myths live on about the night sky, the exact number of stars is still not known, as space is truly the final frontier.

 Naming Stars
To distinguish the stars in each constellation, he labelled them with Greek letters, and approximately in the order of their (apparent) brightness, so that the brightest star was labelled Alpha, the second brightest Beta, an so on.
For example, the brightest star in Cygnus the Swan is Alpha Cygni (note the use of the genitive of the Latin constellation name) which is also called Deneb, or the brightest star in Leo the Lion is Alpha Leonis, also called Regulus.
Fainter stars are normally identified by their numbers in some catalog, such as the Bonner Durchmusterung (BD), the Henry Draper Catalog (HD) or the General Catalog (GC) of Boss, for example, BD +75 deg 752 (star number 752 in the Declination zone +75 deg) = HD 197433 = GC 28804.

Not so we would notice night-to-night, but the number of stars in the universe is declining, and has been for about 5 billion years, according to a study based on a digital survey of the heavens.
The peak of star births is 3 billion years more recent than had been estimated before, based on observations of young stars in distant galaxies.
Star formation has drastically dropped since, and new stars are not being created faster than old stars are dying.

 News in Science - Number of visible stars put at 70 sextillion - 25/07/2003
The calculation was made by a team led by astronomer Dr Simon Driver of the Australian National University in Canberra and announced this week at the 25th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in Sydney.
By measuring precisely how bright each galaxy was, they were able to estimate how many stars it contained and then extrapolated this out to the whole region of the universe visible through telescopes.
Driver noted that the vast majority of stars are too dim to see with the naked eye, which can pick out only around 5,000 stars from even the darkest places, and only 100 or so in the middle of a big city.

the total number of stars in the universe is greater than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the planet Earth.
The excess factor (the number of stars divided by the number of grains) of 50,000/2000 or 25 is greater than an order of magnitude, but only just.
Any (conspired) increase in the number of sand grains is probably offset by the recent discovery of many more galaxies by HST in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, not previously detected in optical surveys.
