The Pithy Amateur Astronomer

The adventure and aggregation of a short-winded amateur astronomer.

While doing some reading about stars, I never noticed the Greek letters beside certain names as uncommon. This is because I have taken 1 year of Greek and when I saw the letters, I didn't think twice about what that letter was.

Below is a small picture that may help if you see a funny looking symbol near celestial names.

Example: α Centauri (α is alpha).
