Its story
68 Geminorum is a white A-type star 424 light-years away, a distant light within the winter realm of the Twins. Its modest brightness slips between the two sibling figures that gave the constellation its name, in a stretch of sky crossed by the plane of the Milky Way. The light we see tonight set out before Galileo wrote his «Sidereus Nuncius».
