Del-1
Its story
Delta-1 Gruis forms with its visual companion Delta-2 one of those optical doublets the eye splits without effort, though each star follows its own path at very different distances. The one named here is a yellow giant more than three hundred light-years away —swollen, luminous, a foretaste of what our Sun will one day become when its core hydrogen runs out.
