Epsilon Aurigae (ε Aurigae, abbreviated Epsilon Aur, ε Aur) is a multiple star system in the northern constellation of Auriga, the charioteer.It is an unusual eclipsing binary system comprising an F0 supergiant (officially named Almaaz / æ l ˈ m ɑː z /, the traditional name for the system) and a companion which is generally accepted to be a huge dark disk orbiting an unknown object ...

The following is a list of stars with resolved images, that is, stars whose images have been resolved beyond a point source. Aside from the Sun, observed from Earth, stars are exceedingly small in apparent size, requiring the use of special high-resolution equipment and techniques to image.
Examples of eclipsing binaries are Epsilon Aurigae (Almaaz), VV Cephei, and V766 Centauri (HR 5171). Angular diameter measurements can be inconsistent because the boundary of the very tenuous atmosphere differs depending on the wavelength of light in which the star is observed. [citation needed]

In 2009, the AAVSO was awarded a three-year $800,000 grant from the NSF to run Citizen Sky, [10] a pro-am collaboration project examining the 2009-2011 eclipse of the star epsilon Aurigae. [11] The AAVSO headquarters was originally located at the residence of its founder William T. Olcott in Norwich, Connecticut.
Upsilon Aurigae, Latinised from υ Aurigae, is the Bayer designation for a single [11] star in the northern constellation of Auriga. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.74, [2] which means it is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon parallax measurements, this star is approximately 500 light-years (150 parsecs) distant ...
