Mira
Mira, pronounced , also known as Omicron Ceti (or ο Ceti / ο Cet), is a  red giant star approximately 418 light-years away in the constellation Cetus. Mira is a binary star, Mira A being the giant, 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 odd Eta Carinae, Mira is the brightest periodic variable in the sky that is not visible during part of its cycle. Its distance is uncertain; pre-Hipparcos estimates centered around 220 light-years,(1) while Hipparcos data suggests a distance of 417 light-years, albeit with a margin of error of ~14%.
