Well, if you're trying to translate the stars from SC2 starmap to real starmap, that's a rather different endeavor than translating the names of the stars into English... Which are you trying to do?


Into real starmap, of course!  Smiley (But in _Russian_ starmap!  Cheesy )
In some cases I didn't find the stars in atlases, so I had to search the nearest equivalence (in Internet, latin/greek dictionaries, etc). Some stars have names of real scientists...

But I can't find mentioned names... Cry

I tried to translate star and costellation names from SC-2 Starmap into real starmap and was confronted with a problem.Most of names have direct equivalents in atlases such as "Cygnus - Swan" or "Lacaille - <real astronom's name>".
But I can't find translations for some names (I don't think that those names are simply fictitious):
Gorno Huh
Illuminati
Klystron
Lentilis
Lipi
Squidi
Vitalis
Help me, please!  Smiley

But such objects as Antimatter or Magnetic Monopoles ARE real (in science fiction) !
They are well-known.

But WHO or WHAT is Aguuti. Is he real scientist?
What is Reisburg? Is it a place in Germany? Or human name?
How are those "nodules" and "helices" looked?
I am interested in this!

I'm sorry, I'm Russian and havn't any association in my mind with mentioned terms. I only have an English/Russian dictionary, but it can't help me... Cry

Who will explain, what are:
 - Aguuti Nodules Huh
 - Charon Dust Huh
 - Reisburg Helices Huh
 - Tzo Crystals Huh
Are they real objects or fictitious? I can't find any links about them in whole Internet !
