Ome
Highly luminous starIts story
Omega Capricorni is a luminous orange giant lying about eight hundred and forty light-years away, in the body of the Sea-Goat. It shines with several hundred times the Sun's output, though its distance dims the effect to a modest point in the southern zodiac. It is among the oldest beacons that Greek astronomers used to measure positions along the celestial belt.
