Gamma Perseii

Gamma Persei, also known as γ Persei, is a bright star located in the constellation Perseus. It is classified as an orange giant star, meaning it has exhausted the hydrogen fuel in its core and expanded in size. This star is several hundred times larger than our Sun and emits a warm, orange-yellow light. Its brightness makes it visible to the naked eye from Earth, especially in the northern sky during autumn evenings. Gamma Persei is a fascinating object for astronomers studying stellar evolution, representing a later stage in the life cycle of a star similar in mass to our Sun.
