Zet-2

Its story

Zeta-2 Lyrae is a white subgiant spinning at 212 km/s, fast enough to broaden its spectral lines. It belongs to a multiple system that some studies suggest may hold up to seven components, hidden 156 light-years away inside the small Lyre: the same constellation that holds Vega, one of the brightest stars in the northern sky.
