remarkable binary star. Two components with magnitudes of 4.1 and 7.0 orbit each other approximately every 180 years. In 1985, they had a separation of 1.3", but they are starting to move away from each other and by the year 2000, they had already reached a separation of 1.7", making the binary star distinguishable in at least a 10 cm telescope.
