Homam

1. astronomyA slowly pulsating third-magnitude blue-white main-sequence star in the northern constellation of Pegasus.

   [Homam seems to have been first given to this in the Palermo Catalogue, from Sa'd al Humām, the Lucky Star of the Hero, in which Ulug Beg included ξ; other lists have Homan. But Hyde said that the original was Al Hammām, the Whisperer.]

   Synonyms: ζ Pegasi, ζ Peg, Zeta Pegasi

   What made HOMAM for me was all the stuff you have to think about before you even start your turn.
