Its story
μ¹ Octantis is a yellow-white star in Octans, the dark constellation that contains the southern celestial pole. When a southern observer frames it, they look almost exactly toward Earth's axis of rotation. Its F type places it between hot white and solar gold, a discreet flame in one of the least illuminated regions of the sky.
