Gam-1

Its story

Gamma-1 Caeli is an orange giant in the small constellation of the Chisel, added by French astronomer Lacaille in the 18th century to honour engravers. She is fourteen times the Sun's radius and pours out seventy times more light, despite being 1,300 degrees cooler. A yellow subgiant companion shares her sky. At 181 light-years she is a small, silent forge pointed towards the galactic south.
