Sources?[edit]

FYI, this article is incorrect. According to astronomers, Fomalhaut is the SOUTHERN star and Watcher of the SOUTH as it is located in the SOUTHERN fish, Piscis Austrinus. Regulus is the Northern Star and Watcher of the North. I've found this article most helpful, as well as the ones linked to at the bottom of the page:http://souledout.org/cosmology/highlights/fomalhaut/fomalhaut.html 75.162.229.118 (talk) 18:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Source for any of this? 3000 BC is more than two thousand years before the Persians are known to history! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Orcoteuthis (talk • contribs) 14:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first I've ever heard of the 'Royal stars' (collectively named as that; I've heard of the individual stars frequently), but that isn't surprising if they're named as such by ancient Persians. Regulus is going to be a project of mine so I'll see what I can scrounge up on the subject for the its history section. If I find something I'll add it in here and expand this article as well.

I need to check my references, but my understanding was that the four Royal Stars were Aldebaran, Regulus, Antares and Fomalhaut. 72.49.43.222 (talk) 05:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I would like to make an edit to the Royal Stars page. What does everyone think?

Capitalization of 'royal stars'[edit]

As the article stands at "Royal stars", it is assumed that the phrase is a common, not proper, noun. If "Royal Stars" can be shown to be treated as a proper noun in the majority of sources, then please open a move request so this can be discussed. But as long at the article remains at this title, the phrase should not be capitalized in the article lead or body. Skyerise (talk) 15:59, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
