Although an old
constellation, Cetus is by
no means of special
interest, except as
possessing the south pole of
the Milky Way and the
Wonderful Star, the variable
Mira; and from the fact that
it is a condensation point
of nebulae directly across
the sphere from Virgo, also
noted in this respect
...
...
Mira also known as
Omicron Ceti
(ο
Ceti, ο
Cet), is a red giant star
estimated 200-400 light
years away in the
constellation Cetus. Mira is
a binary star, consisting of
the red giant Mira A along
with Mira B. Mira A is also
an oscillating variable star
and was the first
non-supernova variable star
discovered, with the
possible exception of Algol.
Apart from the unusual Eta
Carinae, Mira is the
brightest periodic variable
in the sky that is not
visible to the naked eye for
part of its cycle ...
... In
1638 Johannes Holwarda
determined a period of the
star's reappearances, eleven
months; he is often credited
with the discovery of Mira's
variability. Johannes
Hevelius was observing it at
the same time and named it
'Mira' (meaning 'wonderful'
or 'astonishing,' in Latin)
in 1662's Historiola
Mirae Stellae, for it
acted like no other known
star. Ismail Bouillaud then
estimated its period at 333
days, less than one day off
the modern value of 332
days, and perfectly
forgivable, as Mira is known
to vary slightly in period,
and may even be slowly
changing over time
