Altair

I picked this star because it has an interesting rapid rotation, taking only ten hours to completely rotate on its axis, and it also stands out because it is a weak and unusual variable star. Altair is peculiar in shape too; it is not spherical but instead is flattened at the poles because of its speedy rotation. Its name is Arabic and has the same meaning as Aquila constellation in Latin; they both mean earth. This is also another one of the three stars that forms the Summer Triangle, and is the southern star of these. In addition, it is the brightest star in the constellation Aquila, the eagle, and is altogether the 12th brightest star in the sky.
