Its story
36 Geminorum is a white A-type star 491 light-years away, in the constellation of the twins Castor and Pollux. Its light has been crossing the void for nearly five centuries to reach us: it set out when Charles V was crowned Holy Roman Emperor. It belongs to Gemini's quieter field, that winter tableau traversed each year by the brilliance of the two elder sisters that give the constellation its name.
