Bayer designation
A Bayer designation is a stellar designation in which a specific star is identified by a Greek letter, followed by the genitive form of its parent constellation's Latin name.

Cancer (constellation)
Cancer is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac.

Constellation
A constellation is a group of stars that are considered to form imaginary outlines or meaningful patterns on the celestial sphere, typically representing animals, mythological people or gods, mythological creatures, or manufactured devices.

Earth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

Epoch (astronomy)
In astronomy, an epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity, such as the celestial coordinates or elliptical orbital elements of a celestial body, because these are subject to perturbations and vary with time.

Extinction (astronomy)
In astronomy, extinction is the absorption and scattering of electromagnetic radiation by dust and gas between an emitting astronomical object and the observer.

Hipparcos
Hipparcos was a scientific satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 1989 and operated until 1993.

International Celestial Reference System
The International Celestial Reference System (ICRS) is the current standard celestial reference system adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

Latinisation of names
Latinisation or Latinization is the practice of rendering a non-Latin name (or word) in a Latin style.

Light-year
The light-year is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and measures about 9.5 trillion kilometres or 5.9 trillion miles.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research in astronomy and astrophysics.

Mu2 Cancri
Mu2 Cancri is a solitary, yellow-hued star in the zodiac constellation of Cancer.

Parsec
The parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used to measure large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System.

Red giant
A red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass (roughly 0.3–8 solar masses) in a late phase of stellar evolution.
New!!: Mu1 Cancri and Red giant · See more »
Slow irregular variable
A slow irregular variable (ascribed the GCVS types L, LB and LC) is a variable star that exhibit no or very poorly defined periodicity in their slowly changing light emissions.
New!!: Mu1 Cancri and Slow irregular variable · See more »
Stellar evolution
Stellar evolution is the process by which a star changes over the course of time.
New!!: Mu1 Cancri and Stellar evolution · See more »
Stellar parallax
Stellar parallax is the apparent shift of position of any nearby star (or other object) against the background of distant objects.
New!!: Mu1 Cancri and Stellar parallax · See more »
Sun
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.
New!!: Mu1 Cancri and Sun · See more »
Variable star
A variable star is a star whose brightness as seen from Earth (its apparent magnitude) fluctuates.
New!!: Mu1 Cancri and Variable star · See more »
Variable star designation
Variable stars are designated using a variation on the Bayer designation format of an identifying label (as described below) combined with the Latin genitive of the name of the constellation in which the star lies.
New!!: Mu1 Cancri and Variable star designation · See more »
Zodiac
The zodiac is an area of the sky that extends approximately 8° north or south (as measured in celestial latitude) of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year.
