Apparently, you need a hex editor to add stars.

well if I remember well the Wolf 359 could be not the actual name of the star but the type of the star. There is a type of the stars called Wolff- Rayett which are extremely hot, and well I can`t remember but they`re very old, or very young, anyway they don`t belong to the main stream of the Heertzprung- Russel diagram.

Doesn`t matter.

Nope. It's definately the name of the star

quote:
Originally from [URL=http://www.solstation.com/stars/wolf359.htm] This website[/URL]
This extremely faint star is the third closest to Sol after Alpha Centauri 3 and Barnard's Star. It is located only about 7.8 light-years away in the east central part (10:56:29+07:00.7, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Leo, the Lion -- south of Chertan or Coxa (Theta Leonis). However, the star is much too dim to be visible to the naked eye. It was discovered photographically by Max (Maximilian Franz Joseph Cornelius) Wolf (1863-1932), a pioneer of astrophotography who discovered hundreds of variable stars and asteroids, and about 5,000 nebulae by analyzing photographic plates and developing the "dry plate" in 1880 and the "blink comparator" in 1900 with the Carl Zeiss optics company in Jena, Germany.

Notice that the star was named after it's discoverer and the spelling is different from that of the Wolff- Rayett type.
