Its story
5 Aurigae is a yellow-white F-type star 195 light-years away in the Charioteer, that pentagonal winter constellation crowned by bright Capella. It is a sun a touch hotter than ours, with the serene chroma of F-type atmospheres. Its light, which set out in the 19th century, reaches today's catalogues alongside that of many more celebrated sisters.
