At the moment no planets have been detected, which is not surprising as it's a binary star system (possibly triple star).
Algol is a binary star system located approximately 93 light-years away from Earth. The primary star, Algol A, is a blue-white subgiant star with around 3 times the mass of the Sun, while the secondary star, Algol B, is a smaller main sequence star. The system has a combined apparent magnitude of about 2.1, making it one of the brightest stars in the night sky.
No, Algol and Mira are different astronomical objects. Algol is a binary star system located in the constellation Perseus, while Mira is a red giant star in the constellation Cetus. Both are variable stars, but they are not related astronomically.
Jupiter is the only bright planet near Aldebaran just now (Feb. 2013).
Algol (Demon Star) is a bright star in the constellation Perseus.Algol is actually a triple star system - Beta Persei A, B, and CBeta Persei A has a spectral type of B8 and is a blue-white giantBeta Persei B has a spectral type of K0 and is an orange subgiantSee related link for more information.
I'm pretty sure Algol is 105 light years away.

Algol is a bright three-star system that is part of the constellation Perseus. Other names for Algol are Demon Star, Gorgona, and El Ghoul.
Algol is in the constellation Perseus.

Sirius is larger than Algol. Sirius is a binary star system with Sirius A being the larger star with about twice the mass of the Sun, while Algol is a triple star system with the main star being smaller than Sirius A.

Algol has been visible in the night sky for over 300 million years. It would have been seen by the first creatures who looked up into the night sky. So no one can be said to have discovered Algol.
I didn't know there was one called Maria but Algol is Arabic for 'The Ghoul'.
Virtually all of the known planets are near a star. Occasionally, a rougue free floating one will be sighted, but they are rare anomalies.
