Its story
Gamma Mensae is among the brightest stars of Mensa, the only constellation taking its name from an earthly geographical feature: Table Mountain rising beside Cape Town. It is an orange K-type giant some 102 light-years away, whose warm light shines in one of the most southerly and discreet corners of the sky.
