Amansinaya: the pale star of Crater
pale · Crater · WASP-34
Amansinaya is a pale star in the constellation Crater, 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. Amansinaya 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.
