PV Cephei is variable star of Orion type located in the constellation of Cepheus at a distance of over 1600 light-years from Earth.[1] Although the terms 'Orion variable/Orion type' are now no longer used by most astronomers. The term 'Young Stellar Object' or YSO is preferred, since 'Orion Variable' is a term which was given at a time when these objects were thought to be more homogeneous than is now known to be the case. It has been used by the CGVS compilers but astronomers generally do not use these terms any more.[citation needed]
