Ome-1

Its story

Omega-1 Cancri is a yellow G-type giant some 663 light-years away —an aged star whose modest apparent brightness conceals a luminosity far exceeding the Sun's. It lives in the Crab, one of the zodiac's faintest constellations, also home to the celebrated Beehive cluster. Its considerable distance for a naked-eye star magnifies the effect of its size and stellar seniority.
