Epsilon Lyra

Epsilon Lyra

The star Epsilon Lyrae, located about 1 degree northeast of Vega, is a unique star. It is not a single star, but a double star.

 That is, if you observe this star with a sharp eye, you will see that this is not a single star, but another star nearby. That other star is called Epsilon - 2 Lyrae.

This Epsilon - 1 star has a magnitude of +4.7, while the Epsilon -2 star has a magnitude of +5.1. If you can see these two stars separately with your naked eye, you have very good eyesight.

 Otherwise, if you observe the pair of stars Epsilon 1 and 2 with your naked eye or a small telescope, you will definitely see that there is a pair of stars in this location.

 The Epsilon 1 and 2 star pairs are also double stars. If you have a telescope with good resolution and observe this location, you will be able to see 4 stars forming.
