Star name Pronunciation was created by Perseus
Does anybody know of a website that gives pronunciation's for star names. Constellations generally seem to come with pronunciation aids however I can't find similar aids for star names.
Thanks, Damon

While you're at it Damon, have a go at these stars...
Zubeneschamali in Libra
Kaffaljidhm in Cetus
Zubenelhakrabi in Libra
Zujj al Nushshabah in Sagittarius
I remember reading in an old "Space Facts and Lists" book in the kids section of the library here, that the longest name for a star translated into something like under the light of the red star of the Bull! Can't remember for certain, but the original name of the star, in Arabic, was about 23 letters long!
:shock:
