Altair | Star | HD Space Pictures
Altair is only 16.8 light-years away from Earth, making it one of our nearer stellar neighbors. At least two features of the star Altair make it distinctive.
The name Altair is derived from the Arabic for "The Flying Eagle."
Based on Altair's abundance of iron, the star appears to be twice as enriched as Sol with elements heavier than hydrogen
