== Mercury & discovery ==
"Mira was discovered (or at least noted as special for the first time) after a series of observations by the astronomer David Fabricius beginning on August 3, 1596. Observing the planet Mercury, he needed a reference star for comparing positions and picked a previously unremarked third-magnitude star nearby."

On August 3, 1596, Mercury was nowhere near Mira and could not possibly have been involved in its discovery.<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:83.70.216.86|83.70.216.86]] ([[User talk:83.70.216.86|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/83.70.216.86|contribs]]) 16:32, 15 June 2005</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

== "helium shell" should be "helium core"? ==

Not my area of expertise, but the clause "fusion of hydrogen continued along a shell surrounding the inert helium shell" strikes me as incorrect; shouldn't that be "inert helium <i>core</i>"? [[User:Peter Delmonte|Peter Delmonte]] ([[User talk:Peter Delmonte|talk]]) 01:02, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 
: changed shell to core; seemed like a typo. --warnthepenguins  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/129.244.144.141|129.244.144.141]] ([[User talk:129.244.144.141|talk]]) 21:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Mira Means what as far as names go ==

what does the word Mira mean? Other articles on planets etc. mention this particular question. Why not with Mira?  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Aquarius2283|Aquarius2283]] ([[User talk:Aquarius2283|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Aquarius2283|contribs]]) 18:23, 3 February 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

{{Substituted comment|length=261|lastedit=20080313044015|comment=The photo of the trail from Mira appears to curve.  Is that an artifact of the photo mosaic process or is it real?  If real, why?

[[:Mira]] → {{no redirect|Mira (star)}} – Confusion of given names [[User:Οοβεττττμεντττσααβ|Οοβεττττμεντττσααβ]] ([[User talk:Οοβεττττμεντττσααβ|talk]]) 19:43, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
* [[:Mira (disambiguation)]] → {{no redirect|Mira}}

*'''Question''' {{u|Οοβεττττμεντττσααβ}}, are you advocating for [[:Mira]] to become a redirect to this page or do you want {{-r|Mira (disambiguation)}} to be moved to this base name? Also, it doesn't seem like "Mira Star" is a commonly used name for this star, so the proposed destination probably should be {{-r|Mira (star)}}? [[User:Skynxnex|Skynxnex]] ([[User talk:Skynxnex|talk]]) 20:15, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
* '''support if:''' Honestly, it would be better to have a disambiguation when you search up Mira, and “Mira (star)” should be the article about the star.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:586:CD00:FF0:6D65:70D:64EB:F8D2|2601:586:CD00:FF0:6D65:70D:64EB:F8D2]] ([[User talk:2601:586:CD00:FF0:6D65:70D:64EB:F8D2#top|talk]]) 21:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

*'''Oppose''' No indication that the star is not the primary topic and move was proposed by an LTA. [[User:SevenSpheres|SevenSpheres]] ([[User talk:SevenSpheres|talk]]) 22:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
*'''Support''' per nom. No primary topic here. -- [[User:Necrothesp|Necrothesp]] ([[User talk:Necrothesp|talk]]) 13:39, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
*'''Support''' the star has 3,484 views but the 2022 film has 7,221 and the give name has 2,827[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/massviews/?platform=all-access&agent=user&source=wikilinks&range=latest-20&sort=views&direction=1&view=list&target=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_(disambiguation)]] so it doesn't seem like there is a clear primary topic by either criteria.

*'''Oppose''' The film's notability is unclear, and potentially non-notable. Furthermore, the user proposing the move has been blocked and it could be bad faith or advertising. [[User:Zxcvbnm|ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ]] ([[User talk:Zxcvbnm|ᴛ]]) 08:23, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
