	Beta Arae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Beta Arae, an orange class K (K3) supergiant (one on the faint side) at a distance of just about 600 light years, shows us how easily it is to be fooled.
		More to the point, ground-based observations of Beta and Gamma Arae, the latter lying not quite a degree to the south of Beta, suggested that the two were moving through space together and might actually be an ultra-wide double star.
		More interesting perhaps is that Beta Arae is a rather unusual "super metal-rich" star, with an iron content over three times that of the Sun.
