I thought no one knows how Latin was pronounced - only Church Latin survives. Carrionluggage ( talk) 14:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
This website contradicts some of the stuff in the article. Barbara Shack ( talk) 09:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
The first three external links do not work. Kevinhowarth ( talk) 02:05, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Seen in a few places B-V as low as -0.23 to reflect a good fit to the blue profile of this star in a telescope. I don't believe the number currently in the article is from a reliable source? Pomona17 ( talk) 13:22, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
I will remedy ...

What is the actual average separation between these stars? It is mentioned in arcseconds, but not in km or AU. -- JorisvS ( talk) 14:12, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Here is a great ESO photo showing Spica http://www.eso.org/public/archives/images/screen/potw1414a.jpg It is the blue one below centre with the red Mars to the left of it and a meteor burning up also plus many telescopes. Adding a cropped version of this photo to this page would present a major improvement to the description of the star.

Both Antares and Spica in their respective introduction mention they are the 15th brightest star in the night sky. According to the list of brightest stars Antares is No. 15 with 0.96 (0.6 - 1.6var) and Spica is No. 16 with 0.97 (0.97 - 1.04var). Should we just list Antares as 15th and Spica as 16th. To avoid confusion. Mrebus ( talk) 07:09, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

The main article mentions 12,100 times the Sun’s luminosity, but the box mentions 20,512 times. Which one is right? CielProfond ( talk) 14:05, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
