Its story
96 Aquarii is a multiple system disguised as a single point: a white-yellow F-type star bound to a second component that is itself a spectroscopic binary, with an inner eccentric orbit lasting just under two years. Just over one hundred light-years away, its light set out when astronomical photography was beginning to capture the first stellar plates of the southern sky.
