Mu-2

Its story

Mu-2 Cancri is a yellow type-G star some 76 light-years away —close enough to count as an astronomical neighbour. Cancer, the Crab, is the faintest of the zodiacal constellations, yet it shelters the open cluster of the Manger, Praesepe, one of the wonders of the telescopic sky. Mu-2 is a star not so very different from the Sun, though with its own evolutionary story.
