Its story

Epsilon Ceti shines within the vast outline of the Whale, the sea creature sent against the princess Andromeda in Greek myth. At 70 light-years, it is a yellow-white F-type star, slightly hotter than the Sun and known to form a multiple system whose components have been resolved in high-resolution observations. It marks one of the discreet points along the body of the celestial cetacean.
