Hevelius
Brady Haran's video, mentions (presumably on the authority of Merrifield) that the pair catalogued by Hevelius was the significantly brighter and wider pair 74 and 75 UMa, somewhat to the NE. Is there a source for this? (Merrifield also argues against classifying M40 as a "mistake", saying that reporting failure to locate a previously cited object (in this case, nebulosity around a double star) is also an important aspect of science.) -- Elphion (talk) 14:14, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
