Astronomy:Upsilon Cancri

From HandWiki

The Bayer designation Upsilon Cancri (υ Cnc / υ Cancri) is shared by two stars, in the constellation Cancer:

They are separated by 0.34° on the sky.

In Johann Bode’s Uranographia, the designation Rho Cancri is applied to five different stars:

  • υ1 Cancri is 24 Cancri
  • υ2 Cancri is 28 Cancri
  • υ3 Cancri is 30 Cancri
  • υ4 Cancri is 32 Cancri

Bode’s superscripted letters are now rarely used though, so the designations have been reverted to the original 2 stars.
