Absolutno: the pale star of Lynx
pale · Lynx · XO-5
Absolutno is a pale star in the constellation Lynx, one of the few thousand stars bright enough to carry an officially recognised name. It rewards a pair of binoculars on a clear night.
Most stars in the sky are anonymous points of light. Absolutno is not — it has held a name across generations of sky-watchers, which makes it a rare thing to attach a name of your own to.
