	Constellation Carina
		The globular cluster NGC 2808 is a faint naked-eye object.
		The brightest stars of Carina are alpha Car, Canopus, a yellow-white supergiant of -0.7 mag (about 300 lightyears distant), beta Car, Miaplacidus, a blue-white star of 1.7 mag, gamma Car,Almuhlif with 1.8 mag and epsilon Car, She (sometimes called Avior), which is a yellow giant with a brightness of 1.9 mag.
		Because it is embedded in the Eta Carinae Nebula it gives a most glorious view for the observer (with a large telescope).

	Jesse Leonard Greenstein, October 15, 1909–October 21, 2002 \| By Robert P. Kraft \| Biographical Memoirs
		Jesse’s research took a new turn, partly as a result of Struve’s influence and partly as a result of the availability of the brand-new coude spectrograph at the 82-inch reflector.
		The fact that upsilon Sagittarii did not conform to the expectation that stellar abundance ratios were universal was a major breakthrough in what would become, in the years following World War II, the idea of galactic chemical evolution.
		The analysis of upsilon Sagittarii thus profoundly influenced the direction that Jesse’s research would take in his later years.

	Notes: Naming Stars 2
		Nobody got around to numbering stars farther south than could be seen from England.
		So in far-southern constellations one often encounters upper- and lower-case Roman letters, such as g Carinae and L² Puppis.
		Roman letters were applied all over the sky by various star mappers from Bayer on, but in the northern sky they have largely passed out of use.

	Ground of Heaven
		An 18th-century astronomer decided Argo was "too big" and divvied it up into "Carina" (the Keel), "Puppis" (the Stern), "Vela" (the Sail), and then, to be completely weird, took the stars that had been Malus, the mast and turned them into Pyxis, the Compass!
		On November 28, 1775, the day the US Navy was founded, the NNode, Venus, Saturn and Neptune aligned with Argo stars; Neptune was lined up with V Carinae in the great ship's keel.
		In September 1941 when Neptune returned to the longitude of this star, a Solar Eclipse (cnj Neptune) aligned with V Carinae and the US Navy’s Neptune; 2½ months later Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, devastating America's Pacific fleet.
