Its story
ζ Volantis is an orange giant in one of the most peculiar constellations of the sky: the Flying Fish, charted by Dutch navigator Pieter Keyser at the end of the 16th century during his voyage to the East Indies. Its warm K-type light speaks of a mature star, swollen and transitioning toward its nuclear old age, glowing far south of the celestial equator.
