Cepheid variables are high-mass, pulsating variables exhibiting a regular relationship between the period of pulsation and luminosity.

When a star's evolutionary track carries it through a region called the instability strip in the HR diagram, the star becomes unstable and begins to pulsate.

These stars are important to astronomers who study galaxies because Cepheids can be seen at extragalactic distances, and their period or pulsation tells us their luminosities, which in turn tells us their distances.

What is a piece of paper with only one side?

Make a circle, or loop with it. Turn one end over once, and then attach the ends. That's a mobius strip.
