Mu
Its story
Mu Horologii burns some 142 light-years away inside the small Clock, one of the technical constellations Lacaille drew while charting the sky from the Cape. It is a yellow-white F-type star, slightly hotter than the Sun, with a discreet brightness that barely reaches naked-eye visibility under clean skies.
