Dabih is a complex system of stars, with the two main components (named Dabih Major and Dabih Minor) in an immense, million-year-long orbit around one another. Each of these components is a binary or multiple system in its own right, with a central giantstar accompanied by at least one companion.
This highly luminous source of both visible and infrared light is near Capricornus'
border with Sagittarius. This is a compex multiple star with
an unusually high number of components (probably at least five, and possibly as many as eight).
