Albireo, β Cygni // Marc Whitsett

Albireo (β Cygni) is a double star, consisting of β Cygni A (orange) and β Cygni B (blue), and is one of the best contrasting double stars in the night sky due to their different colors. It's unknown if these two stars are actually gravitationally bound or are instead just an optical double.

β Cygni A is an orange giant star about 365 light years from Earth. It has a mass of about 5 times the Sun's and is almost 60 times larger than the Sun. Meanwhile, β Cygni B is a blue-white giant star about 400 light years from Earth. It is just under 4 times as massive and about 2.6 times larger than the Sun.

The origin of the name "Albireo" is uncertain. It comes from a translation of Ptolemy's Almagest, "...et dicitur eurisim quasi redolens ut lilium ab ireo" meaning "...and it is called Eurisim as if redolent like the lily from the 'ireo'". The problem is that "ireo" isn't a proper word. And then people mistook the name for an Arabic word, adding the L to make Albireo.
