constellations
Constellations are recognized not only by their patterns, but also by the bright stars in them. Is there any page that lists both the constellations and their prominent stars (or vice versa). I found individual stars and constellations lists, but not a page that has got both lists, maybe as a table. Jay 20:50, Sep 17, 2003 (UTC)

Sugggestions
Each star must be foundable by its Bayer designation. So must Alpha Lyrae have a redirect to Vega.
 * You are right, although there are only a few articles that use the proper name instead of Bayer letter. I'm quite sure that all the necessary redirects already exist.--JyriL talk 11:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Can someone post lists of navigational stars
There are two main lists of navigational stars. One contains 57 stars. The other contains 173. If someone has got them, please could they add them to the article. Thanks! J 82.99.106.24 15:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


 * List of selected stars for navigation - the 57 plus Polaris - is already in this article. That list mentions that there are an additional 115 stars which are listed in Bowditch. I agree with you that it would be appropriate to add that list to Wikipedia.  TomS TDotO (talk) 04:45, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Stars nearer than 20 ly?
Shouldn't there be a list of stars nearer than 20 light years? For some reason, there is a gap between 5 parsecs (16.3 light years) and 20 light years. TomS TDotO (talk) 22:32, 2 October 2016 (UTC) Here is a list from 0-21 light years until Wikipedia's gap is filled http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/astro/nearstar.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.74.105.124 (talk) 22:29, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Stars outside the Milky Way / stars in other galaxies
Is there a list of known stars outside the Milky Way / stars in other galaxies?

Is there a certain term for such stars?
