Achird
Eta
Variable starIts story
Achird is an intimate neighbour of the Sun, just 19 light years away in Cassiopeia, and it shares with our star both G class and yellow temperature. It belongs to a double system whose companion is a small orange dwarf, and shows mild variations of chromospheric activity. It is one of the few Sun-like stars close enough to study in detail with a modest astronomer's eye.
