Proper name?

[edit]

According to Allen, Al Tizini's "Alnair" refers to the star labelled ζ in Bayer's Atlas, which is NOT modern Zeta Centauri, but Alpha of the Southern Cross. It corresponds better with its placement in "the Centaur's Belly". Therefore the information about Zeta's proper name is incorrect. Szczureq (talk) 10:51, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
