Theta Ceti
Theta Ceti (θ Ceti, θ Cet) is a Class K0, fourth-magnitude star in the constellation Cetus. Theta Ceti is an orange giant star located about 115 light-years from Earth.
Name
In the catalogue of stars in the Calendarium of Al Achsasi Al Mouakket, this star was designated Thanih al Naamat (تاني ألنعامة - taanii al naʽāmāt), which was translated into Latin as Secunda Struthionum, meaning the second ostrich. This star, along with η Cet (Deneb Algenubi), τ Cet (Thalath Al Naamat), ζ Cet (Baten Kaitos)and υ Cet, were Al Naʽāmāt (ألنعامة), the Hen Ostriches.
In Chinese, 天倉 (Tiān Cāng), meaning Square Celestial Granary, refers to an asterism consisting of θ Ceti, ι Ceti, η Ceti, ζ Ceti, τ Ceti and 57 Ceti. Consequently, θ Ceti itself is known as 天倉三 (Tiān Cāng sān, English: the Third Star of Square Celestial Granary.)

The Dust
by: Robyn HitchcockTiny specks of dust are falling through the atmosphere
Sunlight passes through them, they don't easily appear
Some fall on the water, some fall on the land
Some of them will fall on you if you hold out your hand
"Father, oh, and mother, How is there such great alarm?
If you cannot see them, then, how can they do you harm?"
"They can make you suffer, they can make you change
They are over Norway and quite soon we'll be in range."
All our teeth are falling out like leaves upon the ground
All our hair is falling out, no other can be found
Some are dying slowly, some are dying fast
Some of us hold on to life as long as we can last
Poison and invisible, it falls all round the world
Fifteen hundred roentgens for every boy and girl
We just read the papers, we just watch TV
