Arin-majlep: the warm orange star of Aquila
warm orange · Aquila · ε Aql
Arin-majlep is a warm orange giant, far along its stellar life in the constellation Aquila, 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. Arin-majlep 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.
