Gam-2
Its story
Gamma-2 Delphini forms, with its brighter companion Gamma-1, one of the finest visual binaries in the summer sky: two pale-gold suns some 126 light-years away, set in the small dolphin like a double droplet at the creature’s muzzle. It is a tempered orange K-type giant, and the pair splits cleanly through any amateur telescope, offering one of the most rewarding views for anyone meeting their first visual double in a calm summer night.
