Celes

== Intro ==
Celes is a cepheid yellow hypergiant in the Kite Nebula. It is around 610 lightyears away from the Axel system and Espa. It is also a member of the Time Quartet, along with Cira, Cerol and Carmiss.
== Planetary system ==
Celes has only 1 planet, Durlan. It is an evaporating ice giant with an extremely low density.
Celes has a relatively small Kuiper belt, going from 106 AU from the star to 123 AU. It also has a very low density.
== Future ==
Celes is relatively young, and in the next few million years will become a LBV, then a Wolf-rayet, and then it will explode in a gamma-ray burst and become a black hole.
When it turns into a black hole, it will have lost so much mass that Durlan will escape its gravity and become rogue.
== Cepheid variability ==
Being a Cepheid variable, Celes slightly varies in temperature and luminosity over a period of around 159 days. The maxima and minima are show here:
* Spectral class: F7.8 0 to F8.6 0
* Temperature: 5841 K to 5797 K
* Luminosity: 734,512 to 734,296 SL
* Radius: 465 to 469 SR
* Absolute magnitude: Too subtle to make a significant change.
== Why Celes is so bright ==
Celes is surprisingly bright, being one of the brighter stars in the night sky, despite being over 600 light years away in a nebula shrouded in bok globules. But this is simply due to the fact that it is not a G-type star, and thus is hotter and brighter, because nearly all known yellow hypergiants in Magrathea are G-types.
== Trivia ==
* Durlan's core will be exposed in around 600000 years, as its atmosphere is evaporating away dur to Celes's strong solar wind.
