Its story

12 Lyncis emerges in Lynx, a constellation so faint that Hevelius named it so because «only a lynx's eye» could trace it. This white A-type star shines 215 light-years away —hotter and intrinsically brighter than the Sun, with the clean, cool light of a young hydrogen-burning star. Finding it requires patience and a dark sky: a reward for anyone who accepts the hunter's challenge.
