Its story
22 Lyncis is an F-type star some 66 light-years away, a distance that places it among the Sun s relatively nearby neighbours. It shines at magnitude 5.35 within Lynx, the modern constellation Hevelius drew up to fill a near-empty patch of sky between the Great Bear and the Charioteer. Its yellowish light, slightly warmer than pure white, takes barely two human generations to reach us.
