Vega

From Slackerpedia Galactica

Jump to: navigation, search

A bright, young star, relatively close to our Sun. It has a spectral type of "A0V", meaning it is among the hottest of the A-type stars, and a main sequence star. It is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra. Jodie Foster picked up radio signals from there in the movie Contact.

Also a forgettable brand of car produced by the American manufacturer Chevrolet in the 1970s, prone to overheating and catching fire.

Vega was once Earth's Pole Star and will be again due to Earth's wobble. Ooh yeah baby shake that moneymaker and make Vega the pole star again!
