Its story
ρ Aquilae was catalogued in the Eagle, but its proper motion proved so persistent that in 1992 it crossed the official boundary between constellations and entered the Dolphin. A white A2 main-sequence star 156 light-years away, with two solar masses, it is approaching us at 23 km/s. One of the few stars whose cartographic redrawing literally changed its home in the sky.
