IAU Working Group on Star Names

The name Nekhet was suggested to the IAU WGSN in 2023. As this is a huge constellation, it cannot be justified to be represented by only a tiny star. WGSN chose to keep its heritage with a star name that is found as a body part of Nekhet in the Ramesside Star Clocks.
