Zet

Its story

Zeta Fornacis is a yellow-white F-type star, a quiet member of the Furnace, that southern constellation only the trained eye picks out between Eridanus and the Sculptor. Its light takes a little over 106 years to reach us. It belongs to the spectral family that lies between the Sun and the hotter stars, in full stability —close enough to be well studied, discreet enough to escape astronomical folklore.
