Behold, the Albireo Binary Star system!

Location: Cygnus Constellation

Albireo A is a yellow-orange giant star around 5-6 times larger than Earth's Sun.

Albireo B is a blue white main sequence star that's 2.5 times larger than Earth's Sun that's rotating as fast as a blender.

There's discussion that Albireo A & B is an optical binary star system and another theory is that Albireo A hosts a quadruple star system. Whichever it is, imagine the type of sunsets/sunrises this dimension gets, time is skewed.
