 * Star - (Astronomy): Definition
Star maps show Aquarius as a young man pouring water from a jar, although Ovid, in his Fasti, says it is a mixture of water and nectar, the drink of the gods.
History of the star: A triple star, 1.7, 6, and 8, white, greenish white, and purple, was the Arabs' Al Suhail al Muhlif, the "Suhail of the Oath", along with Zeta () and lamda () it formed one of the several groups Al Muhlifain, Muhtalifain,...

The star was found to be triple - the three components (A, B and C), as well as Pluto and its moon, Charon, are indicated in for easy orientation.
The pixel size is 0.027 arcsec, and the achieved image sharpness corresponds to the theoretical limit (the diffraction limit) with a telescope of this size and at this wavelength (0.07 arcsec).
When the star moves behind the planet, the stellar rays suffer minute deviations as they are refracted (i.e., bent and defocussed) by the planet's atmospheric layers.

This star can be seen from every inhabited region of the Earth's surface and, in the northern hemisphere, is known as a vertex of the Winter Triangle.
It is a main sequence star of spectral type A0 or A1 and has a mass about 2.4 times that of the Sun.
Alternative explanations are either that the description as red is a poetic metaphor for ill fortune, or that the dramatic scintillations of the star when it was observed rising left the viewer with the impression that it was red.

 Triple-Star Planet
The primary star and the two secondary stars, in turn, go around each other in an elongated orbit that ranges from about 6 to 18 times the average Earth-Sun distance, or about from Jupiter's to Uranus' distance from the Sun.
This game of cosmic billiards may have involved other stars that were once bound to HD 188753 and were subsequently ejected, or interloping stars in the crowded cluster environment.
Two companion stars, which form a tight binary in the far background, lie to the upper left of the host star.

 Theoretical detection of triple star systems with figure-eight orbits   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In the figure-eight orbit the three stars are of identical (or near-identical) mass, and all three travel along the same figure-eight path.
The variations in brightness occur whenever one of the stars passes in front of another of the stars, and blocks some or all of its light.
The widths of the light curve minima show that the stars of W Serpentis are very close together (relative to their diameters).

 [20.05] Evidence for Disk Clearing in Young Triple Star Systems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Dynamical disruption of the disk(s) by a close companion is a possible explanation for the early termination of secondary's accretion.
Furthermore, for the 8 mixed hierarchical triples, the close binary is always the non-accreting component.
The results here demonstrate that when the age and local environmental influences are held fixed by studying triple star systems, a close binary terminates its accretion before a more isolated star does.

 Universe Today - Planet Found in Triple Star System
In this case, the planet whips every 3.3 days around a star that is circled every 25.7 years by a pirouetting pair of stars locked in a 156-day orbit.
In the traditional wobble method, a planet's presence is inferred by the gravitational tug, or wobble, it induces in its parent star.
The strategy works well for single stars or far-apart binary and triple stars, but could not be applied to close-star systems because the stars' light blends together.

At the center of their religious teachings is knowledge about a star that is invisible to the eye and so difficult to obsevrve -- even through a telescope -- that no photographs were taken of it until 1970.
The priests said that Sirius had a companion star that was invisible to the human eye.
They also stated that the star moved in a 50-year elliptical orbit around Sirius, that it was small and incredibly heavy, and that it rotated on its axis.

 Alpha Centauri
Alpha Centauri is a special star - not only because it is the closest stellar system to the sun but also because it is one of the relatively few places in the Milky Way Galaxy that may offer terrestrial life conditions.
The cooler stars - those with spectral types M and late K - may not produce enough energy to sustain life, for instance they may not permit the existance of liquid water on their planets.
Alpha Centauri B is a K1 star, so it is hotter and brighter than most K stars, therefore it may pass this test or it may not.

Explanation: Our Sun is unusual in that it is alone - most stars occur in multiple or binary systems.
In a binary system, the higher mass star will evolve faster and will eventually become a compact object - either a white dwarf star, a neutron star, or fl hole.
When the lower mass star later evolves into an expansion phase, it may be so close to the compact star that its

Astronomers announced Thursday that they have discovered an extrasolar planet orbiting a star that is a part of a triple-star system.
In a paper in the current issue of the journal Nature, Caltech astronomers said they found a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting close to the primary star in a star system designated HD 188753, 149 light-years from Earth.
The planet is similar to the "hot Jupiters" found around other stars, although in this case HD 188753 also features two other stars; all three stars are crammed into a space as wide as the distance between the Sun and Saturn.
