PV Cephei is a variable star of Orion type located in the constellation of Cepheus at a distance of about 1,100 light-years from Earth.[8] In visible light it varies in brightness from magnitude 17 to 19, making it far too faint to be seen by the naked eye.[9]
PV Cephei's variability was first detected by Martin Cohen, Leonard Vello Kuhi and Eugene A. Harlan, and was announced in 1977.[10] It was given its variable star designation in 1978.[11] The star is embedded within Gyulbudaghian's Nebula, a reflection nebula. As the star's brightness changes, the nebula's shape changes dramatically.[10][12]
