QS Aquilae is a triple or quadruple star system consisting of an eclipsing binary in a 2.5 day orbit around which a third star orbits in 77 years.[3] There is some indication that there is a fourth component with a period of roughly 18 years.[5] It is located in the constellation Aquila and is barely visible to the naked eye.
