Hey, /sci/... How's the scientifically accepted name of this damn star pronounced in English? Saul or Soul? My professors all pronounced it differently. How do?
A sol (sal) is a colloid mixture where what is suspended is a solid. It gets confusing, because of the way we pronounce solution, but also how we pronounce solute. Sol (soul) is the name of the sun in Latin (as in solar).
Better col Sol

>>16904998>the scientifically accepted nameThe Sun.
>>16905034>not Helios Prime
>>16905038here are 5 credits for making me chuckle, dear gentlesir
Why can't the Sun have a clear name in an objective sense in relation to all the shit that appears to exist beyond it? We have objective names or numerical designations for everything in the Local Group. I feel stoopid for knowing only enough to question.
>>16905150> an objective sense in relation to all the shit that appears to exist beyond itAnd what does that mean?
>>16905153Dispense with the philosophy for now, please. Does the Sun have a more official name or not?
>>16905169"The Sun" is the official name. Check any solar physics paper (in English).The Galaxy, also doesn't have a numerical name, because it would be pointless. Numbers are for when you have lots of things and that proper names became clumsy. We have one star, one galaxy, we don't need numbers.
>>16905192Thanks. That makes sense. I was wondering if there was some esoteric system for cataloging all known things in space by a rigid scientific code. It would certainly seem useless, but the eggheads get grant money for such things.
>>16905325>some esoteric system>>16905192>numerical name
>>16905330I don't want to consult ancient systems of organization for all the visible shit flying around in outer space. Just any modern systems and their designations. I don't know if there is, or is not, some kind of code, or paradigm accepted by the community of scientists globally to keep everything in context.
>>16904998We don't own it, why should we claim its name?
>>16905347>Just any modern systems and their designations.Anon...this is a google question. One must wonder how you can ask a question to random people but not ask a search engine...>Example: The Sun is a G2V star (yellow dwarf).I hope youre not OP...and are in university...about Astronomy...>I don't want to consult ancient systems of organizationAh, right...thats why planets are not named after ancient Greek gods or whatever...[glares at any lurkers...]Why is this man not flogged?
>>16905325>I was wondering if there was some esoteric system for cataloging all known things in space by a rigid scientific code.There are for certain objects, but none apply for the Sun or planets. Distant objects are mostly named by coordinate. J114833.14+193003.2 or J1148+5251. But this is nothing specific, as it's just the latitude and longitude position on the sky of that object in the year 2000. It doesn't tell you if it is a galaxy, a star or anything else. Stars also move slowly over time, so the name becomes more and more wrong. This doesn't work for bodies in the Solar System which move quickly. Asteroids have numbers and names (1 Ceres, 4 Vesta, 90377 Sedna). This is just the catalog number ordered by discovery date. Beyond that the numbers you see are just catalog numbers, but there are hundreds of different catalogs of different types of object. NGC 1300 is the 1300th object found by John Herschel in the 1800s, and into his New General Catalog. Just because something is numerical, doesn't mean it is any more objective than a proper name.
