Alzirr
Xi
Its story
Alzirr, xi Geminorum, marks the foot of one of the celestial twins Castor and Pollux. A yellow-white F-class star at only 58.7 light-years, she is close enough to be studied in detail from ground-based telescopes. Her name comes from the Arabic «al-zirr», 'the button', a minuscule detail in the mythic garments of the sons of Zeus.
