Delta Scuti

Delta Scuti is a star located in the constellation Scutum. It is known as a Delta Scuti variable star, which means it exhibits changes in brightness due to pulsations in its outer layers. These pulsations are caused by the star's internal processes, making it an interesting subject of study in astrophysics. Delta Scuti stars can vary in brightness over short periods, usually hours, and they help astronomers learn about stellar evolution and the conditions inside stars. Delta Scuti itself is around 1,000 light-years away from Earth and is part of a broader class of variable stars.
