Kap-2
Its story
Kappa-2 Ceti is a yellow G-type star about three hundred and twenty light-years away. It shares the sky with Kappa-1, an optical pair the eye splits easily even though both stars sit at very different depths. Kappa-2 occupies a discreet area of the sea monster, far from pulsating Mira —the first long-period variable ever identified, found in this same constellation.
