In Astronomy, an epoch is a moment in time used as a reference for the Orbital elements of a Celestial body. In common usage a constellation is a group of celestial bodies that are connected together in some arrangement typically stars to form a visible figure or picture Each culture has its own Constellations usually based on Mythology.

Eta Volantis (η Vol / η Volantis) is a triple star system in the constellation Volans. The cosmic distance ladder (also known as the Extragalactic Distance Scale) is the succession of methods by which astronomers determine the Distances to celestial A light-year or light year (symbol ly) is a unit of Length, equal to just under ten trillion Kilometres As defined by History The first direct measurements of an object at interstellar distances were undertaken by German Astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel in 1838 In Astronomy, stellar classification is a classification of Stars based initially on photospheric temperature and its associated Spectral characteristics A star catalogue, or star catalog, is an Astronomical catalogue that lists Stars In Astronomy, many stars are referred to simply by catalogue A star catalogue, or star catalog, is an Astronomical catalogue that lists Stars In Astronomy, many stars are referred to simply by catalogue The Henry Draper Catalogue ( HD) is an Astronomical Star catalogue published between 1918 and 1924 giving Spectroscopic classifications A star catalogue, or star catalog, is an Astronomical catalogue that lists Stars In Astronomy, many stars are referred to simply by catalogue The Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues (Tycho-1 are the primary products of the European Space Agency 's astrometric mission Hipparcos. A star catalogue, or star catalog, is an Astronomical catalogue that lists Stars In Astronomy, many stars are referred to simply by catalogue A star system or stellar system is a small number of Stars which orbit each other bound by gravitational attraction. In common usage a constellation is a group of celestial bodies that are connected together in some arrangement typically stars to form a visible figure or picture Volans (ˈvoʊlænz Flying fish or "flying thing" is a Constellation of the southern sky It is approximately 356 light years from Earth. A light-year or light year (symbol ly) is a unit of Length, equal to just under ten trillion Kilometres As defined by EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001
The primary component, η Volantis A, is a white A-type subgiant with an apparent magnitude of +5. In Astronomy, stellar classification is a classification of Stars based initially on photospheric temperature and its associated Spectral characteristics Subgiant star is a class of Stars that are slightly brighter than normal Main sequence (dwarf stars of the same spectral class but not as bright as The apparent magnitude ( m) of a celestial body is a measure of its Brightness as seen by an observer on Earth, normalized to the value 28. It has two 12th magnitude companions, η Volantis B and C, 30. 8 and 42. 4 arcseconds away. A minute of arc, arcminute, or MOA is a unit of angular measurement, equal to one sixtieth (1/60 of one degree.
