Pi

Its story

Pi Cephei is a yellow triple system: an inner pair completing its dance every year and a half, while a more distant third star takes about 160 years to round its course. The combined light reaches the eye as a single point, but hides a piece of celestial clockwork 247 light-years away, in the northern reach where myth placed the king of Ethiopia.
