- DELTA CRU (Delta Crucis). Overwhelmed by its neighbors in Crux, one of the most famous constellations of the sky, and fourth brightest in the 4-star pattern, Delta Crucis is the only one with no proper name (though given that Alpha Crucis is called “Acrux” and Gamma Crucis “Gacrux,” no one would likely object to “Delcrux.”)
- Delta Crucis was assigned the name Imai in 2018 by the IAU, after the publication of this page.
- Vega (Wikipedia)
Vega is the brightest star in the northern constellation of Lyra. It has the Bayer designation α Lyrae, which is Latinised to Alpha Lyrae and abbreviated Alpha Lyr or α Lyr. This star is relatively close at only 25 light-years (7.7 parsecs) from the Sun, and one of the most luminous stars in the Sun’s neighborhood. It is the fifth-brightest star in the night sky, and the second-brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, after Arcturus.
