Bajamar Star: the pale star of Cygnus
pale · Cygnus · 2MASS J20555125+4352246
Bajamar Star is a pale star in the constellation Cygnus, 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. Bajamar Star 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.
