Variable Stars Naming
Сегодня случайно узнал, по какой системе именуются переменные звёды, и просто офигел. Держитесь за что-нибудь покрепче и читайте:
The system of naming variable stars is to assign the letter R to the first discovered in a constellation; the second becomes S and so on down to Z. Then comes RR to RZ, SS to SZ, and so on. This sequence ends at ZZ, after which comes AA to AZ, BB to BZ and so on down to QZ, but the letter J is never used. After QZ the next variable in any constellation would be the 335th: it becomes V335, and each subsequent variable in that constellation gets a higher number. The letters and numbers are followed by the name of the constellation.
Крышервущая "стройность" :)

P.S. Не поленился перепроверить в других источниках. Похоже, о ужас, что это не опечатки :)
