I'm doing a project for school and just can't find it anywhere on the web. Any help will be muchly appreciated, thnx!|||Is an A-type stars, so its white.|||Well, ..., whenever I've observed it, it has always seemed (to me) to be a white star with a slightly bluish tent. According to the last website below it is a White star.
