Zet
Its story
Zeta Gruis is one of the twelve stars that draw the silhouette of the Crane in the southern sky, a yellow G-type giant 109 light-years away —a modest distance for so deep a constellation. Its warm hue recalls an older, swollen Sun: what ours will become several billion years from now, almost visible in time's mirror.
