K-Pax

Shouldn't there be something about K-Pax on this page?

In a Trivia section then? Said: Rursus 18:55, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Planets

To explain the "Planets" headline, see Talk:Constellation (Planets in the constellations). — Hurricane Devon (Talk) 19:07, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've added an exoplanets section as an experiment. See discussion on the Constellation talk page. — Aldaron • T/C 01:19, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Solar system

Hello. I want to know more about the binary solar system of Agape and Satori--Daniel bg 13:20, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe these stars actually exist. But, during the scene when the they are at the Rose Center, you'll notice that one of the characters is entering the astronomical data to generate the drawing of the star systems. In one shot, they show the monitor with coordinates of the binary system (RA 18:49:56.3, DEC +38:23:34.9). While those coordinates are near the constellation Lyra, they do not appear to center on a binary system.

Alpha Lyrae (Vega)

Is Vega really a multiple star system with five components? I had always thought it was a single star.--Todd 05:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed that statement--Google searching shows that at best, there might be planetary companions to Vega.--Todd 15:51, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation required with Greek instrument

Lyra is also a Pontic Greek instrument still used nowadays. There are a few references that point to this article when they should point to the instrument. Please, add a disambiguation page. --87.219.84.58 (talk) 18:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's already a disambiguation link for that purpose. Pontian lyra exists but redirects to Kemenche. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Though the evidence in this particular link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9KigY64aCI does not rise to the level of evidence for the main article, it does contain a provocative assertion that all life on this planet [earth] has its origin in the Lyra star cluster, on the 17th planet around Vega. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Curmudgeon99 (talk • contribs) 22:54, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Practical User-Friendly Information

Great article for technical astronomical details, as well as some history/etymology...

But... When is Lyra visible in the US and Canada in March? April? June? July? September? When does it rise? When does it set? How does one find it? There needs to be this information for the average person or beginner amateur astronomer. There needs to be some CONTEXT as far as time and space as to when/where this entity called Lyra is visible. (!!!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.175.168.90 (talk) 18:25, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nearest stars?

The Infobox says there are three "stars" within 10 parsecs, but I could only find two: Vega and the brown dwarf 2MASS 1835+3259. Does anybody know what the third one is? Praemonitus (talk) 23:25, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well I answered my own question: it's GJ 747 at ~26.5 ly, which is actually a double star. Praemonitus (talk) 23:28, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
