Absolute magnitude edit
The numbers given about this star do not add up. If it was 600ly away it would not be visible with a luminsity of 1.1 x the Sun. Has someone left out a minus sign in the absolute magnitude?
The information at http://stars.astro.illinois.edu/sow/sadalsuud.html makes more sense. It places the luminosity at 2,200 times that of our sun, giving a radius of 50X and a Solar Mass of 6X. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.203.198.172 (talk) 14:37, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Table ballooned edit
The triple star table is a huge mess & has been since the 'nested table' revision of 17 May - or is it just me? Rothorpe (talk) 17:41, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Beta edit
If it is the brightest star in Aquarius, why is it named Beta? Nicole Sharp (talk) 08:02, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
