While Gamma Arae, at magnitude 3.31, comes in fourth (just after Zeta Arae), it is by far the most magnificent of them.
Gamma Arae is most noted, however, for its high minimum rotation speed of 280 kilometers per second, quite unusual for a growing supergiant.

 ZETA RETICULI INCIDENT
The two stars are known as Zeta 1 Reticuli and Zeta 2 Reticuli, or together, simply known as Zeta Reticuli.
Zeta 1 Reticuli would have long ago been the focus of religions, mythology and astrology if it were in earthly skies.
Their first argument was to observe that the inclusion of connecting lines in certain maps “is what a lawyer would call “leading the witness”.” This was used as the minor premise in a syllogism for which the major premise was never stated.

 The Zeta Reticuli Incident
Zeta 1 is separated from Zeta 2 by at least 350 billion miles -- about 100 times the sun-Pluto distance.
Zeta 1 would have long ago been the focus of religions, mythology and astrology if it were in earthly skies.
The fact that it would be easily visible in full daylight would give Zeta 1 supreme importance to both early civilizations and modern man. Shortly after the invention of the telescope astronomers would be able to detect Jupiter and Saturn sized planets orbiting around Zeta 1.

 Mu Arae
It lies in the northeastern corner (17:44:8.7-51:50:2.6, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Ara, the Altar -- southeast of Alpha Arae, south of Lambda Arae, southwest of Theta Arae, and northeast of Beta Arae.
It moves around Mu Arae at an average distance of only 1.50 +/- 0.02 AUs (a semi-major axis around Mars's orbital distance) in an elliptical orbit (e= 0.31, revised from 0.20 +/- 0.03) that takes around 1.79 years (654.5, revised from 645.5 +/- 3 days) to complete (McCarthy et al, 2004; and exoplanets.org).
The orbit of an Earth-like planet (with liquid water) around Mu Arae may be centered around 1.3 AU -- between the orbital distances of Earth and Mars in the Solar System -- with an orbital period around 1.31 years (478 days).

It claims that a map, allegedly shown on board a landed extraterrestrial spacecraft to Betty Hill in 1961, later drawn by her from memory and published in 1966, corresponds well to similar maps of the closest stars resembling the sun based on stellar positions in the 1969 Gliese Catalog of Nearby Stars.
Their first argument was to observe that the inclusion of connecting lines in certain maps "is what a lawyer would call 'leading the witness'." This was used as the minor premise in a syllogism for which the major premise was never stated.
Zeta Reticuli occupies a central position in all of the relatively few combinations that now remain plausible.

 Corona Australis, Telescopium and Ara, August Constellation
Ara, the Altar, appears amongst the 48 constellations of Ptolemy as the tripod censer, having seven stars.
This relatively faint and little known constellation, sometimes visualised as the altar on which Centaurus the Centaur, was about to sacrifice Lupus, the Wolf, or the Altar of the Gods, lies immediately south of Scorpius' tail.
Telescopium is to the south of Corona Australis, that is towards the pole, while Ara is to the west of Telescopium.

Carl Sagan and Steven Soter, in challenging the possibilities discussed in "The Zeta Reticuli Incident", suggest that without the connecting lines drawn into the Hill map and the Fish interpretation there is little resemblance between the two.
The story of Marjorie Fish's attempts at identifying the star patterns sketched by Betty Hill was told in "The Zeta Reticuli Incident" by Terence Dickinson in the December 1974 issue.
Zeta Reticuli is a unique system in the solar neighborhood -- a wide physically associated pair of stars almost exactly like the sun.

 Ara   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
As a far southern constellation, Ara is today almost invisible from Europe at any time of the year.
The two brightest, Alpha and Beta Arae, are coincidentally almost exactly the same magnitude of +2.8.
Some of Ara's stars are very distant: both Gamma Arae and Theta Arae lie more than 1,000 light years away, but both of these stars are brilliant supergiants, and so are clearly visible to the naked eye of an observer on Earth.

Although some technorat and Metasoft biont loyalists resisted, the outcome was a foregone conclusion, and by 2512 the Combine and the Conver Ambbi announced a merger.
Even before it was connected to the wormhole nexus, Pacifica was an important regional center, and now with the wormhole link the planet became an important holiday resort, especially with Dolphin, Whale and Squid provolves and aquatic and amphibious human clades.
Of more unhappiness among the locals was the closure of the Beta Virginis- Arae wormhole for the duration of the war, which seriously affected local tourism.

Chen and M. Jura, Univ. of California-Berkeley have detected (monitoring infrared radiation through the Keck telescope on Mauna Kea) a ring or disk of dust which seems to contain asteroid-like bodies around zeta Leporis, a star some 70 l.y.
Although imagery of the star, HR 1998, does not reveal directly these bodies, their presence is inferred from their average temperature of 350°K (77°C or 170°F).
Chen and Jura propose this ring to be the precursor of eventual formation, by collision of asteroidal bodies, of rocky planets analogous to those of the Solar System.

Ara has also been referred to as the altar of Dionysus, the altar built by Noah after the flood, the altar built by Moses and even the altar from Solomon's Temple.
