1 pc were detected in L1551, S140, and Cepheus A. Three individual condensations were detected in Cepheus A, one of them with a highly elongated shape. These condensations may play an important role in creating the bipolar outflow in the region.
The two orbiting telescopes, operating at X-ray and infrared wavelengths respectively, turned their attention to a large star-forming region called Cepheus B, which is about 2,400 light years away.
Cepheid variable stars were named after the first of their kind observed, δ Cepheus.
The name of Cassiopeia's husband, King Cepheus, goes with a nearby constellation, above the other "V" (the brighter one), but Cepheus is nowhere as striking as Cassiopeia.
Delta Cephei within the constellation of Cepheus.
Unlike the eclipsing binary Algol, Delta Cephei's variability is due to pulsation of the star. It varies from magnitude 3.6 to 4.3, and its spectral type also varies, from about F5 to G3.
The team detected both molecular gas and dust in a flattened structure surrounding the massive protostar HW2 within the Cepheus A star formation region.
It extends through the constellations Perseus, Cassiopeia, and Cepheus.
Cassiopeia was a queen and the wife of Cepheus, the Ethiopian king of Joppa (now known as Jaffa, in Israel), and the mother of Andromeda.

Leavitt found a very useful relationship for a certain type of variable star called a Cepheid variable (after the prototype in the constellation Cepheus; see stage 6 of a star's life cycle).
Polaris is due to become an even more accurate pole star in the near future - the distance between Polaris and the pole will reach a minimum of just under 1/2° in the year 2100. After that, Alderamin in Cepheus will be the Pole Star around 7500 AD, ...
