Astronomy:Rho Cancri
From HandWiki
The Bayer designation ρ Cancri (Rho Cancri) is shared by two stars in the constellation Cancer:
- 55 Cancri, or Rho1 Cancri (ρ1 Cnc)
- 58 Cancri, or Rho2 Cancri (ρ2 Cnc)
In Johann Bode’s Uranographia, the designation Rho Cancri is applied to five different stars:
- ρ1 Cancri is 53 Cancri
- ρ2 Cancri is 55 Cancri
- ρ3 Cancri is 58 Cancri
- ρ4 Cancri is 67 Cancri
- ρ5 Cancri is 70 Cancri
Bode’s superscripted letters are now rarely used though, so the designations have been reverted to the original 2 stars.
