Capella is the northernmost star in the star pattern, known as the Winter Hexagon. Capella is the 6th brightest star in the night sky.
In Latin, Capella means nanny goat. This bright star is also called the Goat Star.
Reported from EarthSky, Capella is the largest and brightest yellow star in the sky. Capella is much bigger and brighter than the sun in absolute terms.
Capella looks like one star, but it’s actually four stars. Capella is a four star system consisting of two binary stars.
Star A in the Capella system is what is a spectroscopic binary. Both Capella Aa and Capella Ab, as they’re called, are roughly 10 times the diameter of the sun. Both of them emit about 80 and 50 times brighter than the sun, respectively.
Capella Aa and Ab are yellow giant stars at the end of their normal lives. The two Capella stars are in transition from the smaller and hotter stars to the cooler and larger red giants they should eventually become in their final phase.
The second pair, Capella H and Capella L, are small red dwarfs. Both are about 10,000 astronomical units (AU) from the first pair. Astronomers measure the combined magnitude of this system as 0.08.
