Alrai
Errai, Gamma Cephei, 35 Cephei
| Alrai is a star of the subgiant class,
orange in colour, that lies nearly fifty light years from
Earth's Solar System. It is not far from the
Northern Celestial Pole, and has taken the role of
Pole Star in the past - some six thousand years ago, Alrai was much closer to the Pole than it is today.
