all of da blacks have been named after stars!!

Sirius-
"Sirius is the brightest star in the nighttime sky, with a visual apparent magnitude of -1.46. It is located in the constellation Canis Major. Its name comes from the Latin sirius, from Greek(seirios, "glowing"wink. It is situated in the eye of the greater dog Canis Major, therefore it is known as the 'Dog Star'."

Regulus-
"As the brightest star in Leo, Regulus almost always has been universally associated in ancient cultures with the concept of royalty or kingly power."

Bellatrix-
"An active star, several times more massive than our Sun, Bellatrix is approaching the end of the current stage of its lifecycle, and is expected to evolve into an orange giant within a matter of a few million years. Already, it has developed a growing shell of gaseous matter that heralds the beginning of its transformation."

Draco (hes part Black )-
"A very old and extensive constellation, Draco once held even more stars. Quite fittingly, Hercules is just to the east of Draco. In fact, some cartographers draw the figure of Hercules with one foot resting on the head of Draco."

Me too:

Draco (IPA pronunciation: ) was the first law scribe of ancient Athens, Greece, seventh century B.C. The laws, transcribed in 621 BC when he was archon eponymous, were particularly harsh: the death penalty was the punishment for even minor offences. Any debtor whose status was lower than that of his creditor was forced into slavery. The punishment was more lenient for those who owed their debt to a member of a lower class. The stringency of these laws gave rise to expressions such as "draconian punishment", "draconian laws", and more generally, the far-reaching "draconian measures." Nonetheless, his laws strengthened Athens greatly. Draco's code was later largely revised by Solon, in the early 6th century BC, with the exception of his homicide laws.

Draco may have been the first to codify Athenian law or at least comprehensively record the laws; contrary to popular belief, however, he was not the creator of those laws.
