Tuiren: the pale star of Canes Venatici
pale · Canes Venatici · HAT-P-36
Tuiren is a pale star in the constellation Canes Venatici, 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. Tuiren 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.
