Chi-2

Its story

Chi-2 Fornacis is an old orange K2 giant of the old galactic disk, twenty-three times the Sun's radius and nearly two hundred times its luminosity. She lives in Fornax, the Chemical Furnace, another constellation Lacaille invented in honour of the laboratory instrument. At 455 light-years she shines discreetly, almost at the edge of naked-eye visibility, like an ember forgotten in the embers of a furnace long gone out.
