Alpha Persei is the brightest star in the constellation of Perseus, just outshining the constellation's best known star Algol. It also bears the traditional names of Mirfak or Algenib. A yellow-white supergiant, it lies around 590 light years from Earth and is a member of a cluster of stars known as the Alpha Persei Cluster.
