On March of 2011, deadmau5, a famous Canadian EDM artist, released the song HR 8938 Cephei, after a distant star.


On the same day, he made a Facebook apology to astronomers for making his song pop up on google so much that it takes you 4 pages to find info on the distant star.

It’s crazy how one song screwed up our ability to google up this pair of stars right here.

HR 306 and HR 8938
