Zet-1
Its story
Zeta-1 Lyrae forms, with its companion Zeta-2, one of the Lyre's most celebrated optical pairs —resolvable to the naked eye under dark skies. It is a white A-type star some 156 light-years away, close in the sky to Vega, the dazzling alpha of the constellation. Its position makes it a classic visual benchmark for those gauging the sharpness of their sight on a summer night.
