Corona Borealis (English spelling)

Japanese: かんむり座(冠座) - かんむりざ(英語表記)Coronae Borealis
Corona Borealis (English spelling)
Abbreviation: CrB. A small constellation in the northern sky. Its seven stars are arranged in a beautiful semicircle reminiscent of a crown, making it instantly recognizable. Alpha star is also called Gemma (pearl). Its Arabic name is Alpheca, meaning chipped dish. It is a cream-colored star with a brightness of 2.3 magnitude and spectral type A0. When observed with a telescope, this star is a spectroscopic binary and an Algol-type variable star, but its brightness hardly changes, so it cannot be seen with the naked eye. In Japan, this star rises to the zenith in early summer, and its Japanese names include "Taiko Star," "Hettsui Star," "Chiyoji no Kamado," and "Oni no Kama."
