Rasalgethi (α Herculis) is a true multiple star system, a triple star system. The name comes from the Arabic phrase ra'is al-jāthī meaning "head of the kneeler," the "kneeler" being Hercules.

Polaris (α Ursae Minoris) is another true triple star system. The name comes from Neo-Latin stella polaris meaning, unsurprisingly, "polar star."

Mizar (ζ Ursae Majoris) is a quadruple star system, with each pair being seen as a "single" star. The name comes from the Arabic word mi'zar meaning "apron, wrapper, or covering."

Almach (γ Andromedae) is a quadruple star system. The name comes from the Arabic word al-'anāq meaning "the caracal," also known as a desert lynx.

Albireo (β Cygni) is probably a visual binary, meaning the two stars just happen to be close to each other on the sky. The name has an uncertain origin, tracing back to Ptolemy.

Castor (α Geminorum) is a sextuple star system, made up of three pairs of stars. The name has its origin in the Greek myth of the twins Castor and Pollux.

Off he went over the stones and the rough, carrying [me], but most I don't remember. We holed up now and again and once when he put me down I looked and saw he's covered in blood, head to toe, as if it's him who got it. That's what I keep getting in my dream. Our brother covered head to toe in blood of mine. Blood moving, running, like coming out of him. My blood, him bleeding it.

Beautiful Albireo AB : Beta Cygni is a single bright star to the naked eye. About 420 light-years away it marks the foot of the Northern Cross, famous asterism in the constellation Cygnus. But a view through the eyepiece of a small telescope will transform it into a beautiful double star, a treasure of the night sky in blue and gold. Beta Cygni is also known as Albireo, designated Albireo AB to indicate its two bright component stars. Their visually striking color difference is illustrated in this telescopic snapshot, along with their associated visible spectrum of starlight shown in insets to the right. Albireo A, top inset, shows the spectrum of a K-type giant star, cooler than the Sun and emitting most of its energy at yellow and red wavelengths. Below, Albireo B has the spectrum of a main sequence star much hotter than the Sun, emitting more energy in blue and violet. Albireo A is known to be a binary star, two stars together orbiting a common center of mass, though the two stars are too close together to be seen separately with a small telescope. Well-separated Albireo A and B most likely represent an optical double star and not a physical binary system because the two components have clearly different measured motions through space. via NASA

Albireo Double Star

Albireo is a double star designated Beta Cygni. The International Astronomical Union uses the name "Albireo" specifically for the brightest star in the system

Albireo (Beta Cygni) is the fifth brightest star in the constellation Cygnus at approximately 380 light-years away from the Earth.

La exquisita Albireo, la estrella doble más hermosa ✨

Albireo, también conocida como Beta Cygni, es la segunda estrella más brillante de la constelación Cygnus, el Cisne. A primera vista no destaca especialmente. Pero ver esta estrella a través de un pequeño telescopio puede dejarte sin aliento. Se convierte en una doble llamativa, uno de sus componentes es una hermosa estrella dorada y la otra una azul más tenue. Desde nuestra perspectiva, las dos estrellas parecen cercanas en el cielo, pero los astrónomos no creen que estén unidas gravitacionalmente entre sí. De todos modos, el contraste de color entre las dos es tan sorprendente que Albireo es considerada la estrella doble más bella del cielo.

La estrella dorada más brillante, Albireo A, está a unos 430 años luz de distancia. Albireo B, la estrella azul más tenue, está a unos 400 años luz de distancia.

Es fácil de encontrar si puedes localizar a Cygnus, el Cisne.

Cygnus tiene una forma fácil de reconocer, la de una cruz, y la constelación también se conoce como Cruz del Norte. La estrella más brillante del Cisne, Deneb , marca la cabeza de la Cruz o la Cola del Cisne. Albireo marca la base de la Cruz o la Cabeza del Cisne.

• ** Se denomina estrella doble óptica a dos estrellas que parecen muy próximas vistas desde la Tierra.

• ** Lo más probable es que Albireo A y B representen una estrella doble visual y no un sistema binario físico porque los dos componentes tienen movimientos medidos a través del espacio claramente diferentes.

Albireo ospita un buco nero?

L’immagine mostra una foto dei bracci stellari della Via Lattea, che pervadono la famosa costellazione del Cigno, il cigno volante (linee tratteggiate gialle). Comprende la stella Albireo (sotto al centro a destra) e ne abbozza la scomposizione in più parti fisiche (riquadri colorati). La stella Albireo, nota anche come beta Cygni, è forse la stella doppia bicolore più popolare di tutto il…

Volume II

I can see the rings of saturn as I leave the solar system. I was designated to the planet Defteros in the Beta Cygni star system, the home of the Arawi Enterprise. I've been given the role of sub-marshal, also known as a shittier police captain. Trust me, I could've been designated a much worse locale, but this isn't too bad. It'll be roughly two days until we reach Defteros, which isn't too bad either.

Albireo, or Beta Cygni, which is an optical double star in the constellation Cygnus. When looking at it with your naked eye, it appears as a single star, but these two can easily be observed as separate stars with anything that can zoom in on them. One star is blue, the other is bright yellow, making them strikingly different companions.
