Its story
δ Microscopii shines within the Microscope, a small, modest southern constellation drawn by Lacaille in the 18th century as a tribute to the instrument that opened a world invisible to the eye. An orange K-type giant some 302 light-years away, she offers her warm light in a region of the firmament with few prominent landmarks.
