HD 70060 is a class A8V [3] (white main-sequence) star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 4.45 [2] and it is approximately 93.4 light years away based on parallax. [1]
Rho1 Sagittarii, Latinized from ρ1 Sagittarii, is a single, variable star in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. It has a white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 3.93. The distance to this star is approximately 127 light years based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +1.2 km/s. It is positioned near the ecliptic and so it can be occulted by the Moon.
γ Monocerotis, Latinised as Gamma Monocerotis, is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.55 mas, it is located roughly 500 light years from the Sun. It can be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 3.96. Gamma Monocerotis is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of −5 km/s.
Epsilon Microscopii, Latinized from ε Microscopii, is a single, white-hued star in the southern constellationof Microscopium. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.71. The annual parallax shift of the star is 19.7054 mas as measured from Earth, which yields a distance estimate of around 166 light years. It is moving further from the Sun with a radial velocity of +7 km/s.
Zeta Monocerotis, Latinized from ζ Monocerotis, is a single, yellow-hued star in the constellation Monoceros. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.33, which is bright enough to be visible to the naked eye. The annual parallax shift as measured during the Hipparcos mission is 3.08 milliarcseconds, which provides a rough distance estimate of 1,060 light years. It is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +30 km/s.
Beta Octantis, Latinized from β Octantis, is a probable astrometric binary star system in the southern circumpolar constellation of Octans. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.13. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 21.85 mas as seen from Earth, it is located about 149 light years from the Sun. It is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +19 km/s.
