	Sualocin and Rotanev - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Sualocin (α Delphini) and Rotanev (β Delphini) are names of stars, the result of an enduring practical joke played by the Italian astronomer Nicolò Cacciatore, assistant to Giuseppe Piazzi, who reversed the letters in the Latin version of his own name ("Nicolaus Venator").
		The two mysterious names Sualocin and Rotanev simply appeared without explanation in the Palermo star catalogue of 1814.
		You can find it there under the keyword Sualocin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sualocin)The list of previous authors is available here: version history (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sualocinandaction=history).

	Sualocin.
		The strange names alpha (Sualocin) and beta (Rotanev) first appeared for these stars in the Palermo Catalogue of 1814, and long were a mystery to all.
		But Miss Rolleston, in her singular book Mazzaroth, considered in some quarters [bibical] as of authority, wrote that they are derived, alpha (Sualocin) from the Arabic Scalooin, swift (as the flow of water) and beta from the Syriac and Chaldee Rotaneb, or Rotaneu, swiftly running (as water in the trough).
		The constellation of Delphinus is personified as Amphitrite, the goddess of the sea, because the dolphin induced her to become the wife of Neptune, and Delphinus was known as Persuasor Amphitrites, as well as Neptunus and Triton.

		The mysterious names "Sualocin" and its partner "Rotanev" appeared in the Palermo star catalogue of 1814.
		A bit of detective work by the nineteenth century English astronomer Thomas Webb finally disclosed that the stars are the reversed Latinized names of the assistant to the observatory's astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi, Nicolaus Venator, so honoring him.
		It has been known for some time, however, that Sualocin has a close companion a fraction of a second of arc away.

		Sualocin (α Delphini): B9 IV, 3.77m (multiple star system with 6 components)
		The names of the two brightest stars of this constellation, Sualocin (Alpha Delphini) and Rotanev (Beta Delphini), are not, as one might expect, names dating from Antiquity, but instead are quite new.
		They first appeared in a star catalogue of 1814 that was published at the Palermo Observatory in Italy.

	Rotanev (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Alpha star, which is slightly the fainter of the two (magnitude 3.77), is called Sualocin, the Beta star (at magnitude 3.63 the constellation's luminary) Rotanev, which represent the honoree's names spelled backwards.
		While nearby on the sky and tied by name, the pair have nothing to do with each other, Sualocin 2.5 times farther away than Rotanev, which lies at a distance of 97 light years.
		Unlike its hotter constellation-mate, however, Rotanev's components are very similar, both the same class (F5 subgiants) and temperature (6500 Kelvin).

	sualocin
		Though at bright fourth magnitude slightly dimmer than Rotanev, Sualocin received the constellation's Alpha designation from Bayer.
		This class B star, just over the edge from class A, has a surface temperature of 11,000 Kelvin.
		Modern measurements with the Hipparcos satellite show the companion to be about a tenth the brightness of the principal star, revealing it to be a class A star rather similar to Sirius.

	Constellation Delphinus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The four main stars form an asterism known as "Job's Coffin".
		The names of the two main stars, alpha Del and beta Del, Sualocin and Rotanev, were first mentioned in 1814 in a star catalog, published at the Palermo Observatory in Italy.
		Read backwards these two names resolved to Nicolaus Venator, which is the latin version for the italian name Niccolo Cacciatore, who was the assistant director of the observatory in this time.

		In Delphinus (The Dolphin) the alpha and beta stars have the unusual names, Sualocin and Rotanev.
		These names first appeared in the Palermo Observatory star catalogue which was published in 1814.
		So, Latinized, his name was Nicolaus Venator which when reversed gives Sualocin and Rotanev.

		This cluster was independently found 3 1/2 month later, on July 3 of the same year, by James Dunlop who included it in his catalog as No. 473.
		He was also the only astronomer or person who was able to name stars after himself: The stars Sualocin, or Alpha Delphini, and Rotanev, or Beta Delphini.
		Read reverse, these names read Nicolaus Venator, the latinized name of Nicolò Cacciatore.

		Ancient Arab astronomers saw this group of stars as a camel - the diamond shape of Del's body was the camel's hump (though I'm not sure how the rest of the camel was situated.)
		And, last but not least, a little bit of trivia to impress your friends and enemies: the two brightest stars, alpha Del and beta Del, each have interesting names whose origins mystified people for years: "Sualocin" and "Rotenev".
		The key to unlocking their mysterious origins is reading them backwards: Sualocin = Nicolaus and Rotenev = Venator.
