Sapaki is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is Quechuan. It is the name of the star WR-67-1 in constellation Circinus.
Concordance, Etymology, History
The name was suggested in a research paper by M. S. Zarricueta Plaza, A. Roman-Lopes and D. Sanmartim (2023)[1] with the argument:
"The word translates into solitary from the Quechua language, which is spoken by several indigenous peoples in the North of Chile."
Mythology
IAU Working Group on Star Names
The name was approved by the IAU WGSN in 2026, following a proposal by the SIMBAD team. This Nitrogen-rich Wolf-Rayet star (type WN) has apparent V magnitude 16, and, thus, beyond the naked eye visibility limit.
