The Wikipedia article of the day for September 7, 2017 is Corvus (constellation).
Corvus is a small constellation in the Southern Celestial Hemisphere. Its name means “raven” in Latin. In the Babylonian star catalogues dating from at least 1100 BCE, it was called the Babylonian Raven. One of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, it depicts a raven, a bird associated with stories about the god Apollo, perched on the back of Hydra the water snake. It is also bordered by the constellations Virgo and Crater. Its four brightest stars, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Beta Corvi, form a distinctive quadrilateral in the night sky. With an apparent magnitude of 2.59, Gamma Corvi—also known as Gienah—is the brightest star in the constellation. It is an aging blue giant around four times as massive as the Sun. The young star Eta Corvi has been found to have two debris disks. Three star systems have exoplanets, and a fourth planetary system is unconfirmed. TV Corvi is a dwarf nova—a white dwarf and brown dwarf in very close orbit.

Wikipedia article of the day for September 6, 2017

The Wikipedia article of the day for September 6, 2017 is 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final.
The 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final was the 101st edition of the oldest competition in American soccer, played on September 6, 2014, at PPL Park (pictured) in Chester, Pennsylvania. Seattle Sounders FC won the match before a crowd of 15,256, defeating the Philadelphia Union. Philadelphia and Seattle both play in the top tier of American soccer, Major League Soccer, and bypassed the initial stages of the tournament with entries into the third round of play. The Sounders were in the midst of a Supporters’ Shield-winning regular season, while the Union’s start was so poor that their coach was replaced a week prior to their first game in the competition. The Union’s Maurice Edu gave his team the lead with a goal in the first half, but the Sounders equalized with a second half strike by Chad Barrett, and the match went into extra time. Clint Dempsey took the lead for Seattle, and Obafemi Martins sealed the victory with a late goal. Seattle earned a $250,000 cash prize, as well as a berth in the 2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League.
