Eta
Its story
η Tucanae, in the southern Toucan 155 light-years away, is no isolated star: it belongs to the Tucana-Horologium association, a group of young suns —barely 30 million years old— that share a common origin and motion through the galaxy. A white A1 main-sequence star, probably binary, it still carries the chemical fingerprint of the molecular cloud where it was born.
