Find data (cross references, positions, proper motions, spectral classes, magnitudes ...) on all stars visible to the naked eye from the BSC, SKY2000, SAO, WDS and GCVS. Stars can be searched by their proper names, Bayer designations, Flamsteed, HR, HD, SAO or FK5 numbers.
Binocular and naked eye guide to the constellations, a data table, and mythology.
One huge page packed with illustrations, diagrams and photographs portraying some interesting aspects of stars, black holes and galaxies.
A listing of the Hawaiian Astronomical Society Deepsky Atlas by constellation.
Illustrated tutorial about stars, their properties, formation, and death. Includes related links.
Plasma recombination lasers in rapidly cooled stellar atmospheres.
Article providing information on how to derive properties of stars, based on observation.
Sightings of extrasolar planets are increasing.
A brief overview of what stellar spectra are and how they are used to classify stars. By Pio Passalacqua.
Provides detailed information about stars: positions, proper motion, radial velocity, magnitudes, spectral class, color index, catalogue references, data about multiple star systems (i.e. orbital elements), and data about variability (min./max. brightness, period, type of variability).
