Its story

Wasat sits at the geometric centre of Gemini, its name from the Arabic «al-wasaṭ» meaning, quite simply, «the middle». A yellow-white F-class star 60 light-years away, it is a near neighbour close to the Sun in colour and temperature. The ecliptic passes by here: the Moon, the planets, and in 1930 the discovery of Pluto itself, all happened at a tiny angular distance from this otherwise unassuming star.
