Our Name Explained

Map of 61 Cygni

The name of our company is derived from the double star 61 Cygni, a visual binary system in the constellation Swan. It is considered of astronomical importance as in 1838 F.W. Bessel was able to measure its distance to Earth. This was the first distance estimate for any star other than the Sun. There are further reasons why this is such an important star system, such as its proximity to Earth, its large proper motion and its stellar parallax. Please visit the star’s own Wikipedia page for an in depth background.


 

Furthermore the star system is mentioned often in science fiction novels, shorts, computer games and radio dramas, most famously in the Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov as one of the potential sites for the planet of origin of the human species.


 

Our mission is to have an astronomical impact on the Australian SAP market and being recognised as the birthplace of new ideas and solutions.
