  • α Cae is a white-hued main sequence star of magnitude 4.4, 66 light-years from Earth.
  • β Cae is a white star of magnitude 5.0, 90 light-years from Earth.
  • γ Cae is a double star with an orange-hued primary of magnitude 4.6 and a secondary of magnitude 8.1. The primary is 185 light-years from Earth. It is difficult to resolve in small amateur telescopes because of the difference in visual magnitude and the close separation of the two components.
  • δ Cae is a blue-white hued star of magnitude 5.1, 710 light-years from Earth.

Caelum contains the galaxies NGC 1571, NGC 1679 and IC 2106. Larger telescopes are needed to see several NGC objects, all galaxies, but none brighter than magnitude 11.5 or larger than 3 arcminutes.

Famous quotes containing the words features and/or notable:

    “It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
    —Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

    “In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
