It forms the head of the Swan or the bottom of the Cross and is one of the most beautiful contrasting double stars. Because it is not possible to directly observe the weaker star orbiting the brighter one, it cannot be said with certainty that it is a physical double star. The system is approximately 400 light-years away. The primary component is 950 times and the secondary component is 230 times brighter than the Sun.
