pastiche Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Does anyone know of anywhere that can teach me how to pronounce star names? Some of them are beyond me, for instance, Dubhe or Dschubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acey Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 There's a list here but it looks to me like it gives US pronunciations rather than UK ones (e.g. an-TAIR-eez for Antares):http://www.astronomyclub.org/learn/Say_What.htmThis is probably more authoritative:http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1936PASP...48..139ROr try:http://www.space.com/3250-stars-pronunciation-guide.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
