π Tucanae shines within the Toucan, a southern constellation drawn by Dutch navigators at the end of the 16th century, which also hosts the Small Magellanic Cloud —a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way—. A hot blue B-type star some 318 light-years away, her light traverses a field populated by distant objects of the deep southern hemisphere.
