Rho Aquilae, ρ Aquilae, is the Bayer designation for a star in the northern constellation of Delphinus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.94 [ 2 ] and is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye in good conditions.
Animation fading-in of Aquila, Delphinus, Sagitta, and the summer Milky Way as seen in Dark-sky preserve Westhavelland. Rho Aquilae at magnitude 4.94 [26] is at about 150 light-years away. [26] Due to its proper motion it has been in the (round-figure parameter) bounds of the constellation since 1992. [27]
R Aquilae is an aging red giant on the asymptotic giant branch [3] with a stellar classification that varies over time, between M5e and M9e, [2] where the 'e' suffix indicates emission features in the spectrum. The cooler spectral types occur near the minimum visual magnitude, and the hottest near maximum. [11]

He added pi and rho, not using xi and omicron as Bayer used these letters to denote Cygnus and Hercules on his map. [14] The brightest star in the constellation is Vega (Alpha Lyrae), a main-sequence star of spectral type A0Va. [15] Only 7.7 parsecs distant, [16] Vega is a Delta Scuti variable, varying between magnitudes −0.02 and 0.07 over 0 ...
Altair is the brightest star in the constellation Aquila. α Aquilae (Latinised to Alpha Aquilae) is the star's Bayer designation. The traditional name Altair has been used since medieval times. It is an abbreviation of the Arabic phrase النسر الطائر Al-Nisr Al-Ṭa'ir, "the flying eagle ". [22]
