Ainalrami: the warm orange star of Sagittarius
warm orange · Sagittarius · ν1 Sgr
Ainalrami is a warm orange giant, far along its stellar life in the constellation Sagittarius, one of the few thousand stars bright enough to carry an officially recognised name. On a dark, clear night you can find it with your own eyes.
Most stars in the sky are anonymous points of light. Ainalrami 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.
