Sharatan also known as Beta Arietis or 6 Arietis is a star in the constellation Aries, it is the second Ram's horn.


Al Sharatan means "the two signs", a reference to the star having marked the vernal equinox together with its binary partner Mesarthim (Gamma Arietis) several thousand years ago.


It has an observed visual magnitude of +2.66. Its MK spectral type is A5V, that is a hot white dwarf (main sequence) star. It is 44 LY from Earth.

While such discoveries are not at all unusual, Sharatan stands out as a result of the extremely high eccentricity of the orbit (0.88), the companion trapped in a record-holding elongated path.
However, sophisticated observation of Sharatan with an interferometer, a device that makes use of the interfering properties of light to resolve ultra-fine detail, allow (as for the brighter component of Mizar) the pair to be resolved.
