Astronomers believed that the seven naked-eye planets (including the Moon and the Sun) were carried around the spherical Earth on invisible orbs, while an eighth sphere contained the fixed stars. Motion was provided to the whole system by the Primum Mobile, itself set within the Empyrean, and the fastest moving of all the spheres. [5]
The last stars in the list are familiar nearby stars put there for comparison, and not among the most luminous known. It may also interest the reader to know that the Sun is more luminous than approximately 95% of all known stars in the local neighbourhood (out to, say, a few hundred light years), due to enormous numbers of somewhat less massive stars that are cooler and often much less luminous.

Epsilon Lyrae is wonderfully easy to find. That’s because it’s near Vega. Vega lies in the distinctively parallelogram shaped constellation Lyra the Harp. But it’s probably more recognizable as the brightest star in the famous Summer Triangle asterism. And it’s the 5th brightest starin the sky. When you find Vega, you know that Epsilon Lyrae is nea...
There are many multiple star systems in the sky. But Epsilon Lyrae is special because it’s so easy to find, and so satisfying to resolve as a double starthrough binoculars. And in a telescope, you can enjoy viewing them as a pair of binary stars! Epsilon Lyrae shines at +4.7 magnitude. It is just aboutpossible to discern the widest two components o...
Through a telescope, Epsilon 1 and Epsilon 2 reveal themselves as double stars. Epsilon 1 has two components, designated A and B. They are about 140 times the sun-Earth distance apart, with an orbital period of about 1,800 years. Epsilon 1A is a hot star about twice the mass of the sun, while Epsilon 1B is a bit cooler, and about 1.6 times the sun’...
Epsilon Lyrae is a multiple star system, 160 light-years away from Earth. It won’t be hard to see the two main blue/white stars, Epsilon 1 and Epsilon 2, under a clear dark sky. This system is famously known as the Double Double: Epsilon 1 and 2 are visual binaries. The components’ angular separation is 2.6 and 2.3 arcseconds.

Dec 30, 2020 · The two main components in the Epsilon 2 Lyrae system are both white, class A main sequence stars. Epsilon 2 Lyrae A has the stellar classification A6Vn, while Epsilon 2 Lyrae B is of the spectral type A7Vn. Epsilon 2 Lyrae A has a mass of 2.11 solar masses and is 29 times more luminous than the Sun. It has a surface temperature of 7,816 K and ...

Jul 9, 2014 · Here's a guide to some double stars — both real and coincidentally aligned — that you can split using just your eyes on warm summer nights. Epsilon 1,2 Lyrae, a challenging naked-eye double star, lies near the brilliant star Vega in the constellation Lyra. At right, the pair is seen magnified.
