This page gives an approximate distance of 33,000 LY, but more recent estimates give a distance of more like 5267 LY. I tried to edit it, but it doesn't seem to be a manually-entered figure. Maybe the "starbox" automatically calculates distance based on parallax and/or other figures, but it should be changed. As it stands, it's pretty misleading, because if this star was really 33k LY away, it would be by far the most distant star that's visible to the naked eye. (My understanding is that honor is currently believed to go to one of two stars in Cassiopeia, estimated at "only" about 12k LY. Niobrara (talk) 19:44, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
- I've updated it with the latest parallax values per van Leeuwen (2007). It should be okay now. Thanks. Regards, RJH (talk) 20:14, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
