(This table is largely experimental. Don't mess about with it - use the Talk page if you want to discuss the format, etc. There should eventually be a page explaining the format of such tables. The absolute magnitudes probably need to be changed a little to take into account the improved distance estimates, especially for Beta Caeli. The HD numbers are provided mainly so that additional data can easily be found from the Hipparcos catalogue http://astro.estec.esa.nl/Hipparcos/HIPcatalogueSearch.html.)

The summary table appears on top of the "Brightest stars" table in Safari. -- Mpt 08:41, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Latin for Sky

The entry says 'Caelum (Latin for chisel, and similar to Latin for of the Sky)', yet, when I looked it up on a Latin site, it said caelum means sky.--Jcvamp 20:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

It says the same here and here and here too.--Jcvamp 20:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
