<div>Stars can form orbital systems with other astronomical objects, as in =
planetary systems and star systems with two or more stars. When two such st=
ars orbit closely, their gravitational interaction can significantly impact=
 their evolution. Stars can form part of a much larger gravitationally boun=

iv>Historically, stars have been important to civilizations throughout the =
world. They have been part of religious practices, used for celestial navig=
ation and orientation, to mark the passage of seasons, and to define calend=
ars.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Early astronomers recognized a differe=
nce between "fixed stars", whose position on the celestial sphere does not =
change, and "wandering stars" (planets), which move noticeably relative to =
the fixed stars over days or weeks.[5] Many ancient astronomers believed th=
at the stars were permanently affixed to a heavenly sphere and that they we=
re immutable. By convention, astronomers grouped prominent stars into aster=
isms and constellations and used them to track the motions of the planets a=
nd the inferred position of the Sun.[3] The motion of the Sun against the b=
ackground stars (and the horizon) was used to create calendars, which could=
 be used to regulate agricultural practices.[6] The Gregorian calendar, cur=
rently used nearly everywhere in the world, is a solar calendar based on th=
e angle of the Earth's rotational axis relative to its local star, the Sun.=

y was created by Aristillus in approximately 300 BC, with the help of Timoc=
haris.[9] The star catalog of Hipparchus (2nd century BC) included 1,020 st=
ars, and was used to assemble Ptolemy's star catalogue.[10] Hipparchus is k=
nown for the discovery of the first recorded nova (new star).[11] Many of t=
he constellations and star names in use today derive from Greek astronomy.<=

e heavens, Chinese astronomers were aware that new stars could appear.[12] =
In 185 AD, they were the first to observe and write about a supernova, now =
known as SN 185.[13] The brightest stellar event in recorded history was th=
e SN 1006 supernova, which was observed in 1006 and written about by the Eg=
yptian astronomer Ali ibn Ridwan and several Chinese astronomers.[14] The S=
N 1054 supernova, which gave birth to the Crab Nebula, was also observed by=
 Chinese and Islamic astronomers.[15][16][17]</div><div></div><div></div><d=
iv>Medieval Islamic astronomers gave Arabic names to many stars that are st=
ill used today and they invented numerous astronomical instruments that cou=
ld compute the positions of the stars. They built the first large observato=
ry research institutes, mainly for the purpose of producing Zij star catalo=
gues.[18] Among these, the Book of Fixed Stars (964) was written by the Per=
sian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi, who observed a number of stars, star=
 clusters (including the Omicron Velorum and Brocchi's Clusters) and galaxi=
es (including the Andromeda Galaxy).[19] According to A. Zahoor, in the 11t=
h century, the Persian polymath scholar Abu Rayhan Biruni described the Mil=
ky Way galaxy as a multitude of fragments having the properties of nebulous=
 stars, and gave the latitudes of various stars during a lunar eclipse in 1=
019.[20]</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><=
/div><div>According to Josep Puig, the Andalusian astronomer Ibn Bajjah pro=
posed that the Milky Way was made up of many stars that almost touched one =
another and appeared to be a continuous image due to the effect of refracti=
on from sublunary material, citing his observation of the conjunction of Ju=
piter and Mars on 500 AH (1106/1107 AD) as evidence.[21] Early European ast=
ronomers such as Tycho Brahe identified new stars in the night sky (later t=
ermed novae), suggesting that the heavens were not immutable. In 1584, Gior=
dano Bruno suggested that the stars were like the Sun, and may have other p=
lanets, possibly even Earth-like, in orbit around them,[22] an idea that ha=
d been suggested earlier by the ancient Greek philosophers, Democritus and =
Epicurus,[23] and by medieval Islamic cosmologists[24] such as Fakhr al-Din=
 al-Razi.[25] By the following century, the idea of the stars being the sam=
e as the Sun was reaching a consensus among astronomers. To explain why the=
se stars exerted no net gravitational pull on the Solar System, Isaac Newto=
n suggested that the stars were equally distributed in every direction, an =
idea prompted by the theologian Richard Bentley.[26]</div><div></div><div><=
/div><div>The Italian astronomer Geminiano Montanari recorded observing var=
iations in luminosity of the star Algol in 1667. Edmond Halley published th=
e first measurements of the proper motion of a pair of nearby "fixed" stars=
, demonstrating that they had changed positions since the time of the ancie=
nt Greek astronomers Ptolemy and Hipparchus.[22]</div><div></div><div></div=
><div>William Herschel was the first astronomer to attempt to determine the=
 distribution of stars in the sky. During the 1780s, he established a serie=
s of gauges in 600 directions and counted the stars observed along each lin=
e of sight. From this he deduced that the number of stars steadily increase=
d toward one side of the sky, in the direction of the Milky Way core. His s=
on John Herschel repeated this study in the southern hemisphere and found a=
 corresponding increase in the same direction.[27] In addition to his other=
 accomplishments, William Herschel is noted for his discovery that some sta=
rs do not merely lie along the same line of sight, but are physical compani=
ons that form binary star systems.[28]</div><div></div><div></div><div>The =
first direct measurement of the distance to a star (61 Cygni at 11.4 light-=
years) was made in 1838 by Friedrich Bessel using the parallax technique. P=
arallax measurements demonstrated the vast separation of the stars in the h=
eavens.[22] Observation of double stars gained increasing importance during=
 the 19th century. In 1834, Friedrich Bessel observed changes in the proper=
 motion of the star Sirius and inferred a hidden companion. Edward Pickerin=
g discovered the first spectroscopic binary in 1899 when he observed the pe=
riodic splitting of the spectral lines of the star Mizar in a 104-day perio=
d. Detailed observations of many binary star systems were collected by astr=
onomers such as Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve and S. W. Burnham, allow=
ing the masses of stars to be determined from computation of orbital elemen=
ts. The first solution to the problem of deriving an orbit of binary stars =
from telescope observations was made by Felix Savary in 1827.[31]</div><div=
></div><div></div><div>The twentieth century saw increasingly rapid advance=
s in the scientific study of stars. The photograph became a valuable astron=
omical tool. Karl Schwarzschild discovered that the color of a star and, he=
nce, its temperature, could be determined by comparing the visual magnitude=
 against the photographic magnitude. The development of the photoelectric p=
hotometer allowed precise measurements of magnitude at multiple wavelength =
intervals. In 1921 Albert A. Michelson made the first measurements of a ste=
llar diameter using an interferometer on the Hooker telescope at Mount Wils=
on Observatory.[32]</div><div></div><div></div><div>Important theoretical w=
ork on the physical structure of stars occurred during the first decades of=
 the twentieth century. In 1913, the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram was develo=
ped, propelling the astrophysical study of stars. Successful models were de=
veloped to explain the interiors of stars and stellar evolution. Cecilia Pa=
yne-Gaposchkin first proposed that stars were made primarily of hydrogen an=
d helium in her 1925 PhD thesis.[33] The spectra of stars were further unde=
rstood through advances in quantum physics. This allowed the chemical compo=
sition of the stellar atmosphere to be determined.[34]</div><div></div><div=

ova imposters, individual stars have primarily been observed in the Local G=
roup,[35] and especially in the visible part of the Milky Way (as demonstra=
ted by the detailed star catalogues available for the Milky Way galaxy) and=
 its satellites.[36] Individual stars such as Cepheid variables have been o=
bserved in the M87[37] and M100 galaxies of the Virgo Cluster,[38] as well =
as luminous stars in some other relatively nearby galaxies.[39] With the ai=
d of gravitational lensing, a single star (named Icarus) has been observed =
at 9 billion light-years away.[40][41]</div><div></div><div></div><div>The =
concept of a constellation was known to exist during the Babylonian period.=
 Ancient sky watchers imagined that prominent arrangements of stars formed =
patterns, and they associated these with particular aspects of nature or th=
eir myths. Twelve of these formations lay along the band of the ecliptic an=
d these became the basis of astrology.[42] Many of the more prominent indiv=
idual stars were given names, particularly with Arabic or Latin designation=
s.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Circa 1600, the names of the constellati=
ons were used to name the stars in the corresponding regions of the sky. Th=
e German astronomer Johann Bayer created a series of star maps and applied =
Greek letters as designations to the stars in each constellation. Later a n=
umbering system based on the star's right ascension was invented and added =
to John Flamsteed's star catalogue in his book "Historia coelestis Britanni=
ca" (the 1712 edition), whereby this numbering system came to be called Fla=
msteed designation or Flamsteed numbering.[44][45]</div><div></div><div></d=
iv><div>The internationally recognized authority for naming celestial bodie=
s is the International Astronomical Union (IAU).[46] The International Astr=
onomical Union maintains the Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[47] which c=
atalogs and standardizes proper names for stars.[48] A number of private co=
mpanies sell names of stars which are not recognized by the IAU, profession=
al astronomers, or the amateur astronomy community.[49] The British Library=
 calls this an unregulated commercial enterprise,[50][51] and the New York =
City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection issued a violation agains=
t one such star-naming company for engaging in a deceptive trade practice.[=

ir existence as main sequence stars, fueled primarily by the nuclear fusion=
 of hydrogen into helium within their cores. However, stars of different ma=
sses have markedly different properties at various stages of their developm=
ent. The ultimate fate of more massive stars differs from that of less mass=
ive stars, as do their luminosities and the impact they have on their envir=
onment. Accordingly, astronomers often group stars by their mass:[58]</div>=
