30 Arietis

30 Arietis (abbreviated 30 Ari) is a 6th-apparent-magnitude quadruple star[4] in the constellation of Aries. 30 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation. 30 Arietis A and B are separated by 38.1" or about 1500 AU at a distance of 130 light years away. The main components of both systems are F-type main-sequence stars, meaning they are fusing hydrogen in their cores.[3] 30 Arietis A is itself a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 1.1 days.[5] The 30 Arietis system is 910 million years old, one fifth the age of the Sun.

gollark: I could just run a tiling window manager with decent touchscreen controls.
gollark: Before you go off on a rant about LiNuX BaD FoR TaBLets, it would work fine assuming the drivers are okay, which I think they are by now.
gollark: With a USB stick or something.
gollark: Lots of them have keyboards or USB ports.
gollark: Not really.
