I don't really have a favorite, but Albireo is cool.

Sol

orion's belt
sirius
the pleiades

Methusaleh's star. Supposedly it is 140 light years away but is as old as the whole universe (14 billion years), making through multiple previous galaxies, 5 billion years or so each, and somehow ending up literally right next door to Earth in our current Milky Way.

Clearly an anon of refined taste *sips water*

>the pleiades
>The Pleiades (/ˈplaJ.ədiːz, ˈpliːə-/, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45), are an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars
HOT.

the Sun, unironically.

For me, it's Deneb

I swear that was the single most amazing thing I have ever seen. The sky seemed empty all around, and then out of nowhere this tight, brilliant cluster...
/blogpost, thanks for reading

Sirius

I’m convinced someone there has been communicating with(or through?) me.

>>10090715

Tied with Sirius for coolest named stars.

>>10090727
I don't think people can live on stars anon

Nobody gonna mentioned based Polaris?

>>10090991
too bad polaris won’t be at polar north in a few 10k years...

>>10090739
Someone on Sirius is definitely talking into my head.

>>10091595
please tell us exactly what they are saying, in full detail.

this is of highest scientific relevance

>>10091599
All of it?

>>10090434
FO15? Interesting short period binary star system where the close orbit distance dimishes the hardness of the wind shocks, reducing the energy of photons, which would otherwise be significantly harder.
HR8799? Personally did simulation research to determine possible stable orbit of planet E before it was found at a resonant distance.

Both of these are back around 2010 so a bit dated since I've been in astronomy, but these always pique my interest.

>>10090434
The whole summer triangle. Every time I look at it I feel a deep sadness for the anime life I will never get to live. When I don't get to look at it, I also feel sad. It's been about 10 days since the last time the weather allowed me to see it. Feels really bad.

>>10090434
That star just visually above the middle star in the handle of the big dipper. Anyone know what star this is by name?

>>10090434

>>10090434
isn't that orion in your picture

I don't have one because I have to spend my time focusing on reality and identifying, and fixing, real problems. No one else is pulling their weight. I don't even know if I could ever find a way back to a calmer, creative state at this point. You starry eyed stargazers are dragging all of us down just as much as anyone and anything else.

I'm sorry but there's no time for all that. There are real problems facing all of us right now.

>>10092312
Bro if you died the world would keep on spinning you aren't propping anything up you self absorbed faggot.

>>10092325
You're an NPC. I typed a longer post, but that really says it all.

>>10092362
Thank you for keeping us all alive load-bearing anon

>>10092375
I've always been the load bearer. I'm now among the last line, and not because I'm the best or at all suited.

It's the beginning of the end, and you're as good as dead or worse. Good luck. Enjoy the stars.

>>10092384
I will, enjoy your heart attack.

Mine is Fomalhaut

Possibly. It would be a relief.

I also find it very suspicious Google claimed I was sending out automated requests, and prevented me from filling out captchas after I posted that. Though with everything else I post, I wonder what I could have tripped.

Here's the basic version. Everything you purport to value and care about is being taken from you and destroyed, with your help. Time to quit your role.

>>10092408
>Everything you purport to value and care about
I value and care about stargazing czechmate.

>>10092413
Stupid response by a stupid NPC.

>>10092415
You aren't worth firing up more neurons.

>>10092418
The result would be the same.

>>10092408
>I also find it very suspicious Google claimed I was sending out automated requests, and prevented me from filling out captchas after I posted that.
That just happens when you’re on a busy/crowded network you mong. I got that shit all the time at my parent’s house until using 4chanx for captchas.

>>10090434
Sirius. I remember taking a shitload of acid and stargazing and absolutely went on a mental voyage watching Sirius twinkle.
The Pleiades are a close second, mostly because I can only ever see the stars out by looking at them indirectly (if I look right at them they blurry and faint, like they vanish in a blind spot).

>>10090735
>best name
>Not betelgeuse
Orion's axilla game is on point!

>>10091043
In 13000 years Vega will be though, hence why I'm a bit of a Vega admirer myself

>>10092599
Aldebaran

>>10092599
antares

Where Buzz Aldrin and Niel Armstrong really smart scientists or more good airforce guys that probably gonna be good at flying a spacecraft and had a high G-force tolerance?

>>10090434
Raxxla

>>10092882
The early astronauts were test pilots. I don't think they sent a dedicated scientist up there until the end of the apollo missions.
Watch/read "The Right Stuff." breddy gud/10.

My favorite star is the sun

>>10092562
It's not a busy or crowded network.

>>10090434
the sun
any other answer is wrong

We are not on a spinning spheroid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGuTOfCTs98

>>10094997
I'm actually more apt to think the Earth is hollow, and it's possible we're simply on a more inner layer. Parts of a given layer may be flat. The things we see above are all fabrications, or maybe legitimate effects of some other processes.

>>10095045
Only one way to find out.

>>10090434
Algol (demon star) is pretty cool

>>10091043
It never was. Close though.

>>10091595
Your problem is obviously serious.

Barnard's, for moving fastest.

>>10090524
Based (also Gamma Andromedae)

Similarly, Mu Cephei for being red.

>>10096518
newfag here, what's based mean

Got into stargazing recently and I like Aldebaran because while focusing on it I noticed this weird fuzzy light that was only visible if looked through my peripheral vision. Been using Aldebaran to find the Pleiades since then, and after getting binoculars a few weeks ago I found out it even had a cluster directly behind it (Hyades).

>>10090434
Kalgash, of course.

>>10097168
Fake word used as an adjective to refer to something as the highest level of cool.
