Epsilon Aurigae is a multiple star system in the northern constellation of Auriga, the charioteer. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ε Aurigae, and abbreviated Epsilon Aur or ε Aur. It is an unusual eclipsing binary system comprising an F0 supergiant and a companion which is generally accepted to be a huge dark disk orbiting an unknown object, possibly a binary system of two dwarf B-type stars. The primary component is officially named Almaaz, pronounced, the traditional name for the system. The distance to the system is still a subject of debate, but data from the Gaia spacecraft puts its distance at around 3,300 light years from Earth.
