- GAMMA TRA (Gamma Trianguli Australis). If this star were not so bright – within the top 150 stars – it would probably be ignored. But at mid-third magnitude (2.89), it just barely makes the list at number 149, and thus earns some measure of respect, which it deserves if for no other reason than that it anchors the southwest apex of bright and obvious Triangulum Australe (the Southern Triangle), which is dominated by mid-second magnitude Atria.
- Millard Fillmore (Wikipedia)
Millard Fillmore (January 7, 1800 – March 8, 1874) was the 13th president of the United States, serving from 1850 to 1853, and was the last president to have been a member of the Whig Party while in office. A former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Fillmore was elected the 12th vice president in 1848, and succeeded to the presidency when Zachary Taylor died in July 1850. Fillmore was instrumental in passing the Compromise of 1850, which led to a brief truce in the battle over the expansion of slavery.
