Article title

This page has had several titles. I moved it from BD+14°4559 to BD+14 4559 a year or two back, although I'm not 100% sure that was correct. It has now been moved to "Solaris (star)" following the IAU publication of Solaris as a proper name. Wikipedia convention for start article titles is that the proper name is only used when this is the name by which the star is most commonly known. Given that nobody had hear the name Solaris until about an hour ago, it seems premature to consider it the most commonly-used name. BD+14°4559 is hardly a household name, but it is the title by which the star has usually gone until now and is widely-published. If the situation changes, it is easy enough to start a move discussion, although don't mistake the flurry of copycat news reports that may appear in the next day or two as longstanding popular usage.
