“Beautiful Albireo AB” is copyrighted by Robert Eder. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteBeta Cygni, also known as Albireo, appears as a single bright star to the naked eye. However, a small telescope reveals it as a beautiful double star, a treasure of the night sky. The two component stars, Albireo AB, are about 420 light-years away and mark the foot of the Northern Cross in Cygnus. This telescopic snapshot illustrates their striking color difference, one blue and one gold.
