I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
What we do. Every page goes through several hundred of perfecting techniques; in live mode. Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better.
Great Wikipedia has got greater.

π Andromedae in optical light

Pi Andromedae (Pi And, π Andromedae, π And) is the Bayer designation for a binary star[3] system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. With an apparent visual magnitude of 4.4,[2] it is visible to the naked eye. It is located approximately 580 light-years (180 parsecs) from Earth.[1]

The pair is classified as a blue-white B-type main sequence dwarf, with an apparent magnitude of +4.34. It is a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 143.6 days and an eccentricity of 0.56. [3]

The spectroscopic binary forms a triple system with BD+32 102, a magnitude 8.6 star located 35.9 arcseconds away.[3] At 55 arcseconds separation is an 11th magnitude companion that is just located on the same line of sight, but at a very different distance from us.

Naming

In Chinese, 奎宿 (Kuí Sù), meaning Legs (asterism), refers to an asterism consisting of π Andromedae, η Andromedae, 65 Piscium, ζ Andromedae, ε Andromedae, δ Andromedae, ν Andromedae, μ Andromedae, β Andromedae, σ Piscium, τ Piscium, 91 Piscium, υ Piscium, φ Piscium, χ Piscium and ψ¹ Piscium. Consequently, the Chinese name for π Andromedae itself is 奎宿六 (Kuí Sù liù, English: the Sixth Star of Legs.)[8]
