Its story

1 Leporis is an orange giant about four hundred and sixty-eight light-years away, in the small figure of the Hare crouching at the feet of Orion the hunter. Its K-type light, warm and deep, has crossed a sky dominated by far more famous giants —Rigel, Sirius, Betelgeuse— without losing its quiet character. The constellation, modest in size, hides treasures for those who look slowly.
