 Kelb Alrai
Physically, Kelb Alrai is a common orange class K (K2) giant, one of many relatively cool (4560 Kelvin) "K stars" (headed by brilliant Arcturus) that populate the naked-eye sky.
At a distance of 110 light years, Kelb Alrai releases 64 solar luminosities into space from a sphere with a radius 12.5 times that of the Sun.
At first glance, Kelb Alrai is known more for its setting as anything else, as it makes a guidepost to the old, no-longer-recognized constellation "Poniatowski's Bull," a vee- shaped figure just to the east of the star, and to an attractive large star cluster (IC 4665) just to the northeast.
