Psi-2

Its story

Psi-2 Aurigae is an orange giant at 416 light-years, in the constellation of the Charioteer, not far from the bright hexagon Capella draws with its neighbours. Its warm light comes from an evolved star that has left the main-sequence youth behind. It is a discreet presence in the northern winter background, one of those modest stars that give texture to the sky between the great names.
