Sadegh Faghanpour (IAU WGSN).]]<br /> '''Bó Dù''' (帛度, “Textile Ruler”) is a Chinese asterism consisting of two stars, established by the Wuxian (巫咸) tradition during the Han dynasty. Together with [[Tusi]], the Butcher Shop, it formed a double-asterism within the Chinese super-constellation of [[Tianshi (天市)]], the Celestial Market Place. Since 2025, &quot;Bodu&quot; is also the IAU-star name of 95 Her, a white subgiant in the constellation of [[Hercules]]. <br /> <br /> == Etymology and History ==<br /> The term ''bo'' (帛) refers broadly to silk fabrics, while ''du'' (度) denotes either units or instruments of length measurement. Thus, ''Bodu'' could be interpreted as a tool used for measuring textiles, or by extension, as a shop engaged in the sale of such goods. The Han dynasty (202 BCE - 220 CE) classic ''Liji'' (礼记, ''Book of Rites'') contains strict specifications for commodities, including textiles. It states: “Cloth and silk that are either too fine or too coarse to meet the standard, or '''whose widths are not properly measured''', shall not be permitted in the market.” According to Han regulations, government-issued cloth was required to be “2 chi and 2 cun in width” (1 ''chi'' is about 23.1-24.3 cm in Han, 1 cun is 0.1 ''chi''). The establishment of this asterism may have been informed by such institutional frameworks regulating textile production and trade.<br /> <br /> Astrologers later generalized the meaning of ''Bodu'' to represent all measurement, commercial standardization, and market regulation. Since textile trade was primarily associated with women, some traditions even employed this asterism to divine matters related to women’s purchases in the marketplace.<br /> <br /> === Identification of stars ===<br /> Some star charts depict ''Bodu'' as oriented east–west, while others depict it in a north–south arrangement. It is located near the ''[[Tusi]]'' (Butcher’s Shop) asterism, and several charts depict the two together as forming a connected rectangular shape. Given their small size and the low precision of ancient mapping techniques, slight variations in their relative positions are frequent. Interestingly, while the position of ''Tusi'' often varies across ancient catalogues, ''Bodu'' remains remarkably stable—aside from a few erroneous identifications of the coordinate in ''Huangyou Star Catalogue'' (皇祐星表) by modern scholars, the coordinates in various catalogues points to 95 Her and 102 Her.

In June 2025, WGSN chose to adopt the name Bodu for the star 95 Herculis, following the Yi Shitong catalog because earlier identifications are highly uncertain. <br /> <br /> == The Star ==<br /> In the [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1991bsc..book.....H/abstract Bright Star Catalog (Hoffleit &amp; Jaschek 1991)], 95 Her refers to a binary of two bright stars: 95 Her A (HR 6730, HD 164669; Vmag=4.96) and 95 Her B (HR 6729, HD 164668; Vmag=5.18). The pair appear together in the Hipparcos catalog with designation HIP 88267, and in the Washington Double Star catalog as STF 2264 (WDS J18015+2136), with the separation recently measured to be 6.3 arcseconds. [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1987ApJS...65..581G/abstract Gray &amp; Garrison (1987)] reported spectral types for the 95 Her A and B components of A2IV and G5III, respectively. The vivid color contrast of the pair was noted in the 19th century, with [https://books.google.com/books?id=ZzI6bIuzfp0C&amp;pg=PA299&amp;dq=%2295+Herculis%22 William Henry Smyth] reporting A to be &quot;greenish&quot; and B to be &quot;cherry red&quot; (1833) and then later in his life as &quot;pale green&quot; and &quot;reddish&quot;, meanwhile his contemporary Benedict Sestini reported both to be &quot;gold yellow&quot;. <br /> <br /> 95 Her A is is somewhat brighter in the V-band, but 95 Her B is brighter in the infrared and actually has a higher bolometric luminosity and mass (it is the slightly more massive, and evolved of the two stars). Using Gaia astrometry [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022A%26A...657A...7K/abstract Kervella et al. (2022)] estimated the pair to be separated by 6.37&quot;, corresponding to 840 astronomical units, and their tangential velocities agree within 1.23+-0.05 km/s. No orbit for the pair has been published yet, which is unsurprising, as since the first report of the binary by William Herschel in 1780 (the year before he discovered Uranus), the separation has barely changed, and the position angle has only changed by about 9 degrees. [http://stars.astro.illinois.edu/sow/95her.html Jim Kaler] estimates the orbital period to be at least 11,000 years. <br /> <br /> Following IAU WGSN policy, names are adopted for individual stars, and when the star turns out to be multiple, the name defaults to that of the primary star (usually the brighter of the two in the V band, where measured). The WGSN may later adopt other cultural/historical names for companions. <br /> <br /> In this case, the name '''Bodu''' has been adopted by IAU WGSN specifically for the brighter (in the visible) of the pair: 95 Her A (HR 6730, HD 164669, HIP 88267 A), a hot white subgiant of 2.8 solar masses at a distance of 432 light years. <br /> <br /> ==References ==<br /> [[References (Chinese)]]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Asterism ]]<br /> [[Category:Constellation ]]<br /> [[Category:Eurasia]] [[Category:Asian]]<br /> [[Category:East Asian]]<br /> [[Category:Chinese ]]<br /> [[Category:IAU-Star Name]]<br /> [[Category:Modern]]</div>

The symbiotic system in [[Corona Borealis]] consists of a red giant and a white dwarf, together normally 10.247 mag (V), prototype of the T CrB stars (see &quot;[[Suggested Stellar Transients|Transients]]&quot;). Occasionally, the system permits nova eruptions (surface eruptions on the white dwarf), which flare it up to mag 3 or 2. Although its usual brightness is below the detection limit of the human eye, the star is included in the Yale Bright Star Catalog because of its peak magnitude. <br /> <br /> ==Concordance, Etymology, History==<br /> <br /> === Discovery ===<br /> On May 12, 1866, at least three observers were the first to observe a star at this location in the sky ([https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1086/125797/pdf Petit 1946, PDF]). <br /> <br /> # The director of the Athens Observatory, Mr. Schmidt, saw the star with a magnitude of 5 during a sky survey between 8:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. (local time). <br /> # On the same night, John Birmingham in Tuam, Ireland, also reported the star, <br /> # and W. J. Lynn from the Greenwich Observatory in London saw the object a little later (between 11:30 p.m. and 11:45 p.m.) on his way (not from an observatory) even with the naked eye, because it was already as bright as the main star of the constellation (magnitude 2.2). <br /> <br /> In some sources, Birmingham is given as the first but as Ireland is further west and north than Athens he must have seen the nova later. Civil twilight ends only at roughly 22:10 on Tuam in western Ireland on the 12th of May, so he could have seen the nova only some hours after any observer in Athens (due to timezone difference and much later end of twilight). <br /> <br /> The observers agree that in this region of the sky near the galactic pole, where there are few bright stars, it “disturbed”/ “distorted” the shape of the constellation. The nova was therefore definitely conspicuous and could be identified as a star of magnitude 9.5 in the Bonn survey. This made it clear that this “new star” was an eruption of a known one. <br /> [[File:Proctor1872 StarDepths blazeStar.png|thumb|&quot;Blaze Star&quot; in Proctor's note on &quot;star depths&quot; in 1872.]]<br /> Back then—in 1866—people didn't even know how stars work or where the Sun gets its energy from, let alone how stars evolve or why some of them change brightness. They saw it, recorded their observations—and didn't (yet) understand it. <br /> <br /> It was not until 1946 that the next bright flare was seen, and in the intervening period, apparently (almost) no one looked at this star – at least, there are no observation data in the data archive (but the light curve also begins in 1866 only after the flare has subsided (at 7 mag). <br /> <br /> '''Note:''' We have no less than two data points (nova light curves) from the star whose eruption we are now expecting. One of these dates back to before the invention of electrical photometry (Potsdam, 1913), i.e., it is based solely on the estimates of experienced observers: a well-functioning method, but not using the same measurement method we use today. Contrary to everything taught in basic physics courses (or any laboratory course), we have no choice but to compare measurements that school physics teaches us are not comparable (common practice in astronomy). <br /> <br /> === Occurrence of the Name ===<br /> The nickname has been around since the late 19th century, and it has propagated in astronomy literature significantly since then. WGSN found that the first recorded use of the name Blaze Star for T CrB was in a lecture by the British spectroscopist William Allen Miller at a meeting of the British Association in 1869, and published in the ''English Mechanic''. The name was popularized by R. A. Proctor (1872, see [https://books.google.de/books?id=bLJXAAAAYAAJ&amp;pg=PA378&amp;dq=Coronae+%22Blaze+star%22&amp;hl=en&amp;newbks=1&amp;newbks_redir=0&amp;sa=X&amp;redir_esc=y#v=onepage&amp;q=Coronae%20%22Blaze%20star%22&amp;f=true GoogleBooks])&lt;ref&gt;Proctor, Richard A. (1872). The star depths. The Mechanics' Magazine, 96, 378-379.&lt;/ref&gt; and later his daughter Mary Proctor (1897, see [https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/pdf/1897PA......5...97P on adsabs], p.104).<br /> [[File:Blaze Star ProctorMary.png|thumb|Screenshot from [https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/pdf/1897PA......5...97P Mary Proctor's paper] (CC BY Ian Ridpath).]]<br /> Note that the [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/search/fq=%7B!type%3Daqp%20v%3D%24fq_database%7D&amp;fq_database=(database%3Aastronomy%20OR%20database%3Aphysics)&amp;p_=0&amp;q=%22Blaze%20Star%22&amp;sort=date%20asc%2C%20bibcode%20asc earliest paper] [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/search/fq=%7B!type%3Daqp%20v%3D%24fq_database%7D&amp;fq_database=(database%3Aastronomy%20OR%20database%3Aphysics)&amp;p_=0&amp;q=%22Blaze%20Star%22&amp;sort=date%20asc%2C%20bibcode%20asc in the 1880s] that speaks of a &quot;Blazing Star&quot; deals with Zeta Cassiopeiae (1886). Sara Schechner in the 1990s (e.g. [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/#abs/1990taa..conf....9S/abstract Schechner 1990]) still uses the term in a general sense and not as a proper name. <br /> [[File:BlazeStar Capture.jpg|center|thumb|800x800px]]<br /> However, thename &quot;Blaze Star&quot; for the specific object in Corona Borealis is first found in the note in the [https://books.google.com/books?id=xj48AQAAMAAJ&amp;pg=PA515 English Mechanic and Mirror Science in September 1869], displayed above. <br /> <br /> === Expectations for next eruption ===<br /> Three of the other T CrB-class star systems erupt somewhat more frequently: every 20 to 30 years, so that what the press tells us about the impending eruption may not be entirely reliable. We suspect that during the outburst, the star will have approximately the brightness (3 to 2 mag) of the North Star or the main star of a constellation (alf CrB, [[Alphecca]]), because this was the case in both documented observations. Many (50%) recurrent novae always erupt with the same brightness – but the peak brightness can also vary (the other 50%). Therefore, it cannot be completely ruled out that the star T CrB will not be quite as bright as last time (e.g., only 4 mag or even only 6 mag) or that it will be even brighter (up to Arcturus brightness) during its upcoming outburst: We will only know for sure when we see it. <br /> <br /> === Physics of Recurrent Novae ===<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;float:right; margin:0 0 1em 1em;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;youtube align=right&gt;https://youtu.be/DB6IMc_g1QU&lt;/youtube&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> A nova eruption is a surface eruption on a star in a cataclysmic binary star system. These are star systems in which the two stars orbit each other so closely that matter flows from the primary star (donor) to the companion star. The donor can be a red giant star, but it can also be a yellow main sequence star or even a white dwarf. In most cases, the receiving and occasionally erupting “star” is a white dwarf, i.e., the remnant of a sun-like star (i.e., no longer a star itself because it no longer gains energy through nuclear fusion in its interior). <br /> <br /> In most cases, we know of at most one eruption as a classic nova from these cataclysmic (or symbiotic) systems. However, there are 30 stars (as of May 5, 2024) that are known or suspected to be “recurrent” novae; twelve of them are outside the Milky Way (galaxy), eight are uncertain. <br /> <br /> So we only have ten objects of this type that we can study in more detail in order to make further statistical statements about their behavior – and predictions! <br /> <br /> In astronomy, the obvious characteristics of a system are used for classification. In the case of our recurrent novae, these would be the orbital period (period duration) P&lt;sub&gt;orb&lt;/sub&gt;, the amplitude A during eruption, the repetition time τ&lt;sub&gt;r&lt;/sub&gt;, and the decay time t&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; from the maximum of 3 mag. The period depends on the size of the main star (donor): with a small donor, the orbiting dwarf star must be closer so that matter can flow over, and therefore it has a shorter period due to Kepler's laws. <br /> [[File:Nrec 3diagr-1024x239.jpg|center|frameless|1024x1024px|Characterization of the ten known recurrent novae: In T Pyx stars, the erupting star orbits a dwarf star (blue), in U Sco types it orbits a main sequence star (yellow), and in T CrB types it orbits a red giant (SMH 2024), published in Hoffmann and Vogt (2022)]]Characterization of the ten known recurrent novae: In T Pyx stars, the erupting star orbits a dwarf star (blue), in U Sco types it orbits a main sequence star (yellow), and in T CrB types it orbits a red giant (SMH 2024), published in Hoffmann and Vogt (2022)[[File:Nrec 3diagr 2.jpg|center|frameless|1024x1024px|recurrent novae, behaviour depending on classes, first published in Hoffmann and Vogt (2022).]]<br /> Characterization of nova behavior: The decay time for novae of the T CrB type is relatively short, i.e., the “new star” is only visible to the naked eye for a few days. The amplitude appears to be at the lower end of the possible range (compared to other systems), but with an outburst of 6 to 9 mag, a star that normally has 10 mag is certainly within the range of naked-eye visibility. The figure on the right shows how much the amplitude of the maximum varies among the individual star systems: it does not depend on the star type and can deviate significantly (by up to 4 mag) from the median mean (i.e., the most common case).<br /> <br /> The problem is that the above facts are based on a relatively small sample size. While most of the information about stars, their stages of development, etc., which is derived from Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, is based on millions/billions of star data, we only have about ten recurrent novae in the Milky Way. The few others recently discovered in the LMC and the Andromeda galaxy may have different properties and are therefore not included in the statistics. So, compared to other astronomical data, these statistics are on rather shaky ground. <br /> <br /> === Specifically on T CrB ===<br /> [[File:TCrB aavsoLCG2 2024.jpg|thumb|A light curve of T CrB based on the data archive of the [https://www.aavso.org/LCGv2/ AAVSO] (2024).]]<br /> In 2024/2025, press reports claimed that the star will erupt soon because the last eruption of T CrB was about 80 years ago, i.e., in 1946. If we think carefully about how many survey programs and systematic sky monitoring observation programs there were at the end of World War II, we can't think of many. At that time, there were no satellite telescopes, and the culture of observational astronomy consisted mainly of individual stargazers who, while observing their favourite objects, might have found an erupting star “by chance.” <br /> <br /> It was no different ''before'' World War II. So how do we know the recurrence period? It is clearly visible that there is a huge data gap between 1870 and 1930. <br /> ==Mythology==<br /> no mythology <br /> <br /> ==IAU Working Group on Star Names==<br /> The name was discussed by the IAU WGSN in 2024 due to the ongoing media hype on its due eruption.

The Washington Double Star catalog does not report the triple system, so it does not appear to have been resolved before.

The primary star of λ Tauri, is Bibing, and of type B3V. It is in a tight binary (~4 day orbital period) with a secondary of spectral type A4IV star. And the massive binary is orbited by a fainter tertiary component which orbits the pair in ~39 days. <br /> <br /> == Weblinks ==<br /> <br /> * <br /> <br /> == Reference ==<br /> * [[References|References (general)]] <br /> <br /> [[Category:Asterism‏‎]]<br /> [[Category:Star Name‏‎]]<br /> [[Category:IAU-Star Name‏‎]]<br /> [[Category:Eurasia]]<br /> [[Category:East Asian]] [[Category:Asian]]<br /> [[Category:Chinese]]<br /> [[Category:Tau]][[Category:Modern]]</div>

Jawza is a Giant. Kunitzsch (1959)&lt;ref&gt;Kunitzsch, P. (1959), Arabische Sternnamen in Europa, Harrassowitz&lt;/ref&gt; explained the first part of the name Betelgeuse&lt;nowiki&gt;, the ''bet'', as transformation from the Arabic letter yā’ (ي) with two dots underneath the Arabic letter to the letter bā’ (ب) with one dot. Thus, the first part of the word is not ''bet'' but ''yad''&lt;/nowiki&gt;, the hand.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology and History==<br /> The name originated from reading errors in medieval times: As the Arabic letters &quot;y&quot; and &quot;b&quot; differ only by one dot which can easily be overlooked the leading &quot;y&quot; in &quot;yad&quot; was misread, &quot;d&quot; and &quot;t&quot; are frequently exchanged in dialects and short vowels like &quot;a&quot; and &quot;e&quot; are not written in Semitic languages. It is easy to change Jawzā into ''Geuse'' as the ''j'' sound in Arabic is very often transliterated to a ''g'' which as a sound only exists in the Egyptian dialect of Arabic and is, thus, mostly considered equivalent.<br /> <br /> === Spelling Variants ===<br /> <br /> * Beteigeuze (Dutch, German)<br /> * Beteigeux (Turkish)<br /> * Betelcewza (Kurdi)<br /> * Bételgeuse (French) <br /> * Betelgeux (Turkish)<br /> * Betelgeuze (Turkish)<br /> * Betelgez (Croatian)<br /> * Betelgeza (Polish)<br /> * Beteljöz (Turkish)<br /> * Бетельге́йзе (Russian)<br /> * Μπετελγκέζ (Betelgeuse), Βετελγόζης (Greek)<br /> <br /> === Whose Hand? ===<br /> [[File:Orion asSufi1170 Bodlein2x.jpg|thumb|Orion drawn in an early as-Sufi manuscript (1170). Kitāb Ṣuwar al-kawākib al-thābitah (Bodleian Library MS. Huntington 212, Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford) Place of Origin: Mosul ([https://digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/objects/fba70a3f-2cf2-40cd-8d43-017b3eaed5c3/surfaces/416050d0-613d-459f-a498-0da67b4cd4b3/# link]) ]]<br /> The more interesting quesion is whose hand is meant here. Philologically, it is not clear whether or not this Jawzā is a proper name. Usually, in Semitic languages the proper names do not take a definite article (al-) and here we see that there is a definite article. If this word is not a proper name, then it might have been derived from the Arabic root ''jawz'' which denotes the middle or the main part of something. So, ''yad al-Jawzā'' could mean &quot;the hand of the central one&quot;. Another suggestion understands Jauzā’ as a designation of a feminine giant.<br /> <br /> * Some people think, it might be the hand of the giant (Greek) hunter Orion but in fact, the star is placed on his shoulder. <br /> * One hypothesis is that ''al-Jawza'' was an Indigenous Arabian constellation that covered not only the area of Orion but also Gemini. Then, the figure would be large enough to place her hand in the area of this star. The indigenous pre-Islamic Arabic sky culture apparently identified the constellation of Jawzā with the stars of the zodiacal Twins (Gemini). In contrast, the medieval Arabic sky culture that incorporated the science of the Almagest and therefore, called the stars of Gemini &quot;the Twins&quot; (al-taw’amān), transferred the name of the &quot;the Giant&quot; (al-jabbār) to the Greek hero Orion.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Kunitzsch, Paul; Smart, Tim (2006). A Dictionary of Modern star Names: A Short Guide to 254 Star Names and Their Derivations (2nd rev. ed.). Cambridge, Massachusetts: Sky Pub.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[File:FarneseHand stellarium.jpg|thumb|Hand of the Giant Atlas on the Farnese Globe, mapped to the star chart of Stellarium (SMH 2021).]]Another observation points out that the hand of the giant (titan) Atlas is placed in this area on the ancient marble globe of the Atlas Farnese&lt;ref&gt;Thiele, G. (1898), Antike Himmelsbilder, Weidmannsche Buchhandlung, Berlin.&lt;/ref&gt;. It dates to Roman epochs (1st or 2nd century CE) but certainly is a copy of a Hellenistic original. Note that Arabic drawings of the constellation of Orion resemble rather the kneeling hunter as shown on the Farnese Globe (Strohmaier 1984, 83)&lt;ref&gt;Strohmaier, G. (1984), Die Sterne des Abd ar-Rahman as-Sufi, Gustav Kiepenheuer Verlag, Leipzig, Weimar (GDR).&lt;/ref&gt;. This suggests that the hunter carries an animal skin in order to protect himself from injuries while the hero/ soldier carries a shield. Arabic drawings interpret the animal skin as the long sleeve of the man. This suggests that pictures were inspired by or rooted in the same Greek tradition that is depicted on the Farnese Globe, and that this drawing tradition also influenced the Arabic culture. The original book of as-Sufi in the 10th century probably did not provide labels on stars but only drawings of the constellations (Strohmaier 1984, 36)&lt;ref&gt;Strohmaier, G. (1984), Die Sterne des Abd ar-Rahman as-Sufi, Gustav Kiepenheuer Verlag, Leipzig, Weimar (GDR).&lt;/ref&gt;. Later copies of this book (that were produced numerously) labeled the stars and &quot;The bright reddish star on the right shoulder&quot; (Alm. VIII, 1) was occasionally labelled الجوزاء اليمنى , the left [or right] hand of jauzā or منكب الجوزاء , the left [or right] shoulder of jauzā.<br /> <br /> Hoffmann (2022)&lt;ref&gt;'''Hoffmann, S.M.''' (2022). Multiple Greek Sky Cultures, in Hoffmann and Wolfschmidt (eds.). Astronomy in Culture – Cultures of Astronomy, tredition Hamburg/ OpenScienceTechnology Berlin, 491-523&lt;/ref&gt; points out that there are early modern drawings (Lippincott 2011, their fig. 2a,b&lt;ref&gt;Lippincott, K. (2011), `A Chapter in the Nachleben of the Farnese Atlas: Martin Folke's Globe', Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes 74, 281--299. https://www.jstor.org/stable/i40069056.&lt;/ref&gt; and cited image from 1739&lt;ref&gt;Marcus Manilius, Astronomica, ed. Richard Bentley, London 1739&lt;/ref&gt;) showing the hands of the Atlas-statue of the Farnese Globe depicted in the image among the constellations. Thus, it may be possible that parallels also existed in late antiquity or the time when the Arabians took over the Almagest-constellations and merged them into their traditional uranography.<br /> <br /> ==Mythology==<br /> <br /> ==IAU Working Group on Star Names==<br /> It was internationally approved because it is in use for long time and documented in Kunitzsch and Smart (2006)&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;Applied with varied spellings since medieval times, from its ind-A name yad al-jauza', &quot;the Hand of al-jauza'&quot; (The first medieval transliteration into Latin was bedalgeuze, mistaking the initial Arabic letter as &quot;b&quot; instead of &quot;y&quot;. In Renaissance times this corruption was erroneously attributed to the assumed Arabic word &quot;bat&quot; [properly ibt], for &quot;the Armpit&quot; of al-jauza', giving rise to the corruption Betelgeuse seen today. Thus by Renaissance times both the &quot;y&quot; and &quot;d&quot; of the first part of the ind-A name had become corrupted.) The ind-A asterism al-jauza' was a feminine figure represented in the stars of what is today Orion. The origin of its name is unclear (as with nearly all of the ancient group of ind-A names). The root jwz can mean &quot;middle&quot;, and the word al-jauza' is structured as a feminine adjective, thus al-jauza' may mean &quot;the female one, having something about her related to the middle&quot;. There have been different speculations as to what the &quot;middle&quot; reference, if that is what it is, could be (for one example). The ind-Arabs' al-jauza' corresponded to what in other cultures was Gemini among the zodiacal signs. The sci-Arabs subsequently used the indigenous name for both the Greek Orion and Twins, leading to some confusion in star names between the two constellations. An alternative sci-A name for Orion was al-jabbar, &quot;the Giant&quot;, and for Gemini, al-taw'aman, &quot;the Twins&quot;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> The name was adopted by the IAU WGSN on 2016/06/30. <br /> <br /> ==Weblinks==<br /> * Website of the IAU WGSN: https://exopla.net/<br /> <br /> == Reference ==<br /> * [[References|References (general)]]<br /> * [[References (Medieval and Early Modern)|References (early modern)]] <br /> <br /> [[Category:Asterism]]<br /> [[Category:Single star-asterism‏‎]]<br /> [[Category:Star Name‏‎]]<br /> [[Category:IAU-Star Name‏‎]]<br /> [[Category:Eurasia]]<br /> [[Category:West Asian]] [[Category:Asian]] [[Category:North Africa]] [[Category:Africa]]<br /> [[Category:European]]<br /> [[Category:Ori]] [[Category:Arabic]][[Category:Modern]]</div>
