Its story
Its yellow light left Lepus around the year 1944, when Europe was living through the last year of the Second World War and the Normandy landings took place. It is a G-type star, a close cousin of the Sun in colour and temperature, with that familiar golden hue of dawn. The Hare crouches at Orion's feet, the eternal prey of the celestial hunter and his two dogs.
