Epsilon Sagittarii
(Kaus Australis)
I chose this star, well because, it was honestly the first one I clicked on, no I am not a Sagittarius but I just thought it seemed interesting after reading it.
This star also happens to be a binary star system-binary meaning two stars are orbiting around the common center of mass.
Also seen as a 'giant star'. It has exhumed all the hydrogen from its core.
Epsilon Sagittarri also forms the base of the 'bow' for the constellation Sagittarius.
The apparent visual magnitude of +1.85 makes it THE brightest star in the constellation.
The distance to this star is about 143 light years or 44 parsecs.
