Talk:Chara (star)

Comment
Chara is the traditional name of Beta Canum Venaticorum, not Alpha. The original creator of this page seems to have made an error. -- Curps 04:49, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

G'day

When I view this page some spurious matter disambiguating 'dopamine' appears on it.

I'd like to see some verification of the assertion that 'Chara' can refer to Alpha Canum Venaticorum. As far as I can tell, 'Chara' is by tradition unambiguously Beta Canum Venaticorum. Alpha Canum Venaticorum was known as 'Asterion' until it was renamed 'Cor Caroli'.

 * Per Beta Canum Venaticorum, a constellation composed of Beta Canum Venaticorum and Cor Caroli was (is?) known as Chara. That page cites the STARS web page at the University of Illinois. I have added the constellation to the page Chara and redirected this page to that one. Cnilep (talk) 08:04, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
