constellation <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/grus-constellation/">Grus</a>. With an apparent magnitude of 1.74, it is the brightest star in Grus and the 30th brightest star in the sky. It is only slightly fainter than <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/bellatrix/">Bellatrix</a> and <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/alnilam/">Alnilam</a> in the constellation <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/orion-constellation/">Orion</a>, <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/elnath/">Elnath</a> in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/taurus-constellation/">Taurus</a>, and <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/miaplacidus-beta-carinae/">Miaplacidus</a> in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/carina-constellation/">Carina</a>, and it just outshines <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/alnitak/">Alnitak</a> in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/orion-constellation/">Orion</a>, <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/alioth/">Alioth</a> and <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/dubhe/">Dubhe</a> in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/ursa-major-constellation/">Ursa Major</a>, and <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/mirfak/">Mirfak</a> in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/perseus-constellation/">Perseus</a>. Alnair lies at a distance of 101 light years from Earth.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Star type</h2><p>Alnair is a main sequence star of the spectral type B6 V. Some sources classify it as a subgiant of the spectral type B7 IV. Both classifications indicate a star appearing bluish or blue-white in colour, but the first one indicates that it is still fusing hydrogen in its core, while the second suggests that it is running out of hydrogen and has started to move away from the main sequence.</p><p>Alnair has four times the Sun’s mass and a radius 3.4 times solar. With a temperature of 13,920 K, it shines with 520 solar luminosities. The star is a very fast spinner, with a projected rotational velocity of 215 km/s at the equator. It completes a rotation in less than a day. Alnair’s estimated age is 100 million years.</p><div id="attachment_4061" style="width: 560px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4061" class="size-full wp-image-4061" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20550%20300'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="alnair star,alpha gruis" width="550" height="300" data-lazy-src="https://www.star-facts.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Alnair-Alpha-Gruis.webp" /><noscript><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4061" class="size-full wp-image-4061" src="https://www.star-facts.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Alnair-Alpha-Gruis.webp" alt="alnair star,alpha gruis" width="550" height="300" /></noscript><p id="caption-attachment-4061" class="wp-caption-text">Alnair (Alpha Gruis), image: Wikisky</p></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">Facts</h2><p>Alnair’s age and proper motion indicate that the star may be associated with the AB Doradus Moving Group, a stellar association with about 30 members that share a common origin and motion through space. The group is the nearest known moving group to the solar system, located at a distance of about 20 parsecs. The estimated age of the members is between 50 and 150 million years. Based on its motion and age, the group is suspected to have formed in the same star-forming region as the <a href="https://www.messier-objects.com/messier-45-pleiades/">Pleiades cluster</a> at around the same time.</p><p>Alnair is one of the 58 stars selected for navigation. It is the only navigational star in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/grus-constellation/">Grus</a>. The 58 navigational stars have a special status in the field of celestial navigation both because they are bright and because they are easy to identify.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Name</h2><p>The name Alnair (pronunciation: /ælˈnɛər/) is derived from the Arabic <em>al-nayyir</em>, meaning “the bright one.” The name comes from the phrase <em>al-nayyir min dhanab al-ḥūt (al-janūbiyy)</em>, which means &#8220;the bright one from the (southern) fish&#8217;s tail.&#8221; The name was also sometimes spelled Al Nair or Al Na’ir. In Arabic astronomy, Alnair and several other <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/grus-constellation/">Grus</a> stars – Beta, Delta, Theta, Iota and Lambda Gruis – belonged to the constellation <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/piscis-austrinus-constellation/">Piscis Austrinus</a>. They were not, however, part of the Greek Piscis Austrinus, first listed by the Greco-Roman astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century CE.</p><p>The name was officially approved by the International Astronomical Union&#8217;s (IAU) Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) on July 20, 2016.</p><p>The name Alnair was listed as the proper name of Zeta Centauri in mid-20th century astronomical ephemerides. Zeta Centauri was known as <em>Nayyir Badan Qanṭūris</em>, “the bright star of the body of the centaur.” However, the WGSN approved the name for Alpha Gruis, and Zeta Centauri does not have an official proper name yet.</p><p>The Chinese name for Alnair is 鶴一 (<em>Hè yī</em>), or the First Star of the Crane.
