No, it's not something tracked by most places. They're named stars in one of the larger clusters, as I recall.

Sure enough it disappeared when I logged in. Thanks for letting me know. I'll screen cap of and report it. They really need to get this codex fixed since there's not much point in adding to it if you can't run across something the devs didn't expect. It's a good thing I'm keeping a handwritten log.

I added my examples of this issue to the bug report over here: 477075-quot-Boxes-quot-of-stars
I suggest others add their examples to get it prioritised accordingly. It's ruining a lot of my screenies!
Right, thanks. I suppose if we're discounting named stars that might be manually placed for all we know, my submission could be a candidate where procedurally generated stars are considered, if we were to keep track of such things in the first place.

So I don't actually have a lot of experience really looking deeply at most of the planets themselves if they didn't immediately pop out to me. (Really pretty gas giants, huge ring systems, etc etc.) But I just sort of coincidentally looked and noticed some very interesting numbers on what at first appeared to be an ordinary ice world. First of all, surface temperature is over 1300 Kelvin. And that's water ice. Which brings me to the other really interesting thing: surface pressure is listed at more than 4.8 million atmospheres. The planet is more than 28 earth masses but only 2.62G at the surface, so I guess all that mass is in one heck of an incredible atmosphere (98.4% water btw) the likes of which I can't even imagine where pressure alone forces water hot enough to melt aluminum here on Earth into a solid state.
Anyway, is this actually a relatively ordinary thing or should I report it? It mostly looks relatively ordinary (well, it has a little ring that looks ok) so isn't particularly interesting on visual merits alone other than being obviously quite a bright white looking world.
The same system had a relatively ordinary gas giant orbiting a class M at a distance of probably under 2LS (hard to get the exact distance since it's not the main system star, though in retrospect I guess I could have lined them up directly in front of me and compared. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that.) That second star is actually pretty close to the first for that matter. I actually could see it the moment I jumped into the system as a dark circle from the second star (binary.) If the game were a bit more realistic I think there would be a super amazing view of all of them being ripped apart. I'm not sure if this is a report thing either though?
I don't want to clutter too much, so I'll just stick a couple of screenshots on Imgur if anyone is curious. If I should submit I'll do it more properly.

I've already moved on from the system (I was falling way behind DW2) but I screenshotted the system view and the info on those two planets.
EDIT: Adding onto the artifacts discussion, I ran across this Space Bermuda Triangle where whole star systems apparently disappear:

(It's hard to tell it's a triangle because it twisted when I moved the camera. I was just showing a friend and didn't put in any real effort.)

I know it's my bug report and so I'm rather invested in it being fixed, but yes - please do nag FDev to sort this out, breaks immersion and ruins otherwise great pictures.
Rings of Amaterasu
A shining set of parallel rings bracketing the sun, as seen from Shrogaei GT-O d7-3069-Shrogaei GT-O d7-3069 3 Geopoint #2. The nearby ring also pretty much delineates the edge of the galactic disk, with the orange/brown carpet of stars on the left and blackness on the right.
Submitted for the nature of the conjunction and associated spectacular view.
Obviously somewhat ruined by the gap in the starfield just above the near ring, but not much I can do about that. See the bug discussed above.

This terraformation paradise was first discovered by Wiseacre, but I stumbled upon it by chance and it's worth sharing. I was just the first to map after Beyond.
All planets have volcanism and half of the bodies are terraformable.

System: Stuemeae DA-A E4291
Main star: Class A blue-white Supergiant
- Age: 350 Million years
- Mass: 5.2305 solar masses
- Radius: 48.2332 solar radius
- Temp.: 8,135.00 K
Also in System: 4 class T dwarfs
- Nr.2 has metallic ring
- Nr.3 has Class V gas giant
- Class V gas giant
- 2,321.4368 earth masses
- 72,304 Km radius
- 1,734 K
- rocky ring
- Nr.4 has 8 metal-rich worlds
- 4 A: 4 Biosites (Rubeum bioluminescent anemone)
7 Geosites (Iron Magma volcanism)
- 4 H has a rocky ring
The system is only a few hundred ly from Sag A* and i think if you´re like me and have never been to a supergiant before it is definitely worth a visit.

It might be nice place to meet. Only 350Ly from WP7 / Sag A. On planet 1A in this system There are Sinous Tubers. this is planet 2A. You can "fly" sideways or backwards in SC over planet, at least relatively. [video=youtube_share;Vgb4eVO_hSw]https://youtu.be/Vgb4eVO_hSw[/video]

Found this rather curious system on the way to Sagittarius A* a week ago
This class A star system contains a class Y ringed brown dwarf which has 3 interesting moons: a terraformable rocky body, an earthlike world and a ringed terraformable water world.

POI Name: "Four Seas of Infinity"
Galmap search ref: Dumbooe FA-Z d2172
First discovered by: Cmdr XhaleR
Description: This gem was discovered during DW2 on my way to WP7. It's located in the Empyrean Straits sector, approximately 800LY's north of the "Black in Green" tourist installation POI. System contains 4 waterworlds (3 of them terraformable) and 9 terraformable HMCW's. It took some time to map due to some distances, but was definetely worth it giving a personal all time high payout of almost 27 million
(!!). Any better?
