Rho-1
Its story
Rho-1 Cephei is a visual double at 206 light-years: two blue-white stars, the primary classified as A2m, separated as of 2014 by barely 0.29 arcseconds. Their angular closeness makes them a challenge even for well-resolving telescopes, a tight pair shining in regal Cepheus, near the constellations that frame the northern celestial pole.
