The Star “head of the demon”.
There is a star with such strange behavior that even the ancient Egyptians recorded it, its name is Algol, such changes were something strange and disturbing for the ancients because they thought that all stars were immutable, they belonged to the celestial kingdom, to the kingdom of the gods. , so discovering a star that varied for some reason, a terrible reason.
In the 19th century explanation there was a problem, although it was generally correct with the improvement of telescopes it was discovered that there were other small variations in brightness, What were those variations, planets, other smaller stars in 2021 a study published in astrophysical journal came to the conclusion that Algol, which is a large star with 5.8 solar masses, was the center of a multiple star system of at least five smaller stars, all of them of different brightness and these are the ones that cause the variations we see.
It was the time in which there was a common ancestor from which the first hominids from which humans descended emerged, despite the great distance of 9.8 light years, the Algol Pass, which we remember is much more massive than the sun, along with its array of stars and supposedly its cloud of comets, which should also be much larger than ours, this step is believed to have altered the outer part of the solar system, which is thought to extend up to almost a light year in diameter. distance.
