61 Cygni A is a star located in the constellation Cygnus, approximately 11.4 light-years away from Earth. It is part of a binary system, along with its companion star, 61 Cygni B. Both stars are classified as K-type main-sequence stars, which means they are cooler and less luminous than our Sun. This star is notable for its high proper motion, meaning it moves quickly across the sky relative to more distant stars. 61 Cygni A has a surface temperature of about 4,800 Kelvin and is roughly 0.6 times the mass of the Sun, making it an interesting object for studying stellar evolution and dynamics.
