Its story
κ Phoenicis is a white A-type star in the mythical bird of the southern sky. It rests relatively close to the Sun —under a hundred light-years— making it a quiet, crisp neighbour of the solar district. The Phoenix was drawn in the 16th century by the Dutch navigators Keyser and de Houtman, who first charted the deep southern heavens.
