Albireo, also known as Beta Cygni, is a double star located at the beak of the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. Though it appears as a single point to the naked eye, telescopic observation reveals a pair: Albireo A shines with a golden hue, while Albireo B contrasts with a sapphire-blue color. The pair is separated by approximately 34 arcseconds and sits about 430 light-years from Earth.
