Lam

Its story

Lambda Aurigae is one of the most studied solar twins in the sky: a yellow G-type star only 41 light-years away, with a mass, temperature and composition strikingly close to the Sun's. That familiarity has made it a frequent target in the search for planets and for subtle traces of stellar activity. It shines within Auriga, the Charioteer, not far from the little herd of kids that mythology placed at his side.
