Its story
26 Geminorum lights up near the feet of the Twins, about 142 light-years away. It is a young, hot, white A-type star, possessing the metallic elegance of suns still rich in hydrogen. Its light slipped free in the late 1800s, when astronomy was photographing stellar spectra for the first time and sorting them into the letters we still use today.
