Missing word edit

When was Sirius discovered? 220.244.2.211, 9 May 2009

That probably refers to "Sirius actually is a binary star (discovered in 1844)". Ok, I will change it into "Sirius actually is a binary star (as discovered in 1844)". Ceinturion (talk) 08:05, 9 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, Fizeau was unaware of Doppler’s publication (1842) when he wrote his article in 1848. Ceinturion (talk) 22:40, 5 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
