Artist's conception of Algol triple system

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Bright triple star system 90 ly away in the constellation of Perseus - The hot luminous primary and the larger, but cooler and fainter secondary pass in front of each other every 2.86 days causing 10-hour-long eclipses - An observed gas flow transferring mass between them solves the "Algol paradox" of why the most massive is less evolved and vice versa - The third star orbits the pair every 680 days at 2.7 AU -
