Talk:List of stars in Lyra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For distances in light years and possibly, parsec, you should have at least one more (one or two) digits after the decimal point if it is less than 100 light years/parsecs and some distances greater than 100 light years/parsecs you could add one or two more digits after the point.
