Mu

Its story

Mu Indi belongs to the Indian, a southern constellation created by Bayer in 1603 to honour the indigenous peoples whom European navigators met in the south. It is an orange K-type giant whose light takes nearly 366 years to cross the space between us. It shines in a discreet region of the sky, almost forgotten on popular charts, where only the southern traveller knows how to make out the figures drawn by the cartographers of the Baroque.
