What is Epsilon Aurigae?
'''Epsilon Aurigae''', also called '''Maaz''' or '''Almaaz''', is a [[yellow]] [[supergiant]] [[star]] forming part of the [[Auriga (constellation)|Auriga]] [[constellation]]. It is orbited by a binary star which is surrounded by a thick dusk cloud. The dust cloud only creates [[infrared]] light. The dust cloud was originally thought to be the [[List of largest stars|largest star known]], before it was later revealed to not be a star. The largest star was later found to be [[VY Canis Majoris]], and even later, [[WOH G64]]. Another theory says that the dusk cloud could be a [[black hole]], but this theory is no longer believed in. {{Sci-stub}} [[Category:Supergiants]]
