Epsilon Lyrae

The star known as Epsilon Lyrae consists of two pairs of stars, which together are known as the Double Double. Epsilon Lyrae is visible to the unaided eye near brilliant Vega, which is high overhead at nightfall. Binoculars split Epsilon Lyrae into two stars, while small telescopes show all four.
