Capella - Alpha Aurigae

Description

I learned something really cool about this "star" tonight. Pretty bright, eh? Well it's not just one star... it's actually 4 stars. Two pairs of binary stars (stars that rotate around themselves) that are gravitationally bound to each other. Imagine living on a rock orbiting one of those 4 suns, watching them dance around each other. I doubt there would ever be darkness. Love pondering on this stuff.
