Lam
Its story
λ Doradus shines yellow at 458 light-years, in the southern constellation of the Goldfish where the Large Magellanic Cloud unfolds. A G-class star, spectral cousin of the Sun in color and temperature, it lies at a distance that makes it faint to Earthly eyes. Its light shares the sky with one of the oldest spectacles of the southern hemisphere: our satellite galaxy.
