NASA's Muzzie outreach strikes again -- Kochab and Shedar are the Arabic names for a couple of these stars.

That will help the Camels on a night mission across the desert navigate more easily, knowing they no longer have too use infidel stars, they now have some of their own.

Cheers SC.

We can tell the Muslims that "equinox" is Latin for "night of the horse" but that it's an Arabian horse.

Making the Muslims feel good about themselves in one of our chief foreign policy goals with this administration, after all. (Along with pushing abortion and gay rights on other countries.)

(Yes, I know that "equinox" actually comes from aequinoctium and has nothing to do with horses...or camels.)
