Zet
Highly luminous starIts story
Zeta Monocerotis is a luminous yellow giant lying over a thousand light-years away, set in a faint modern constellation that barely registers to the naked eye. Its light, thousands of times more powerful than the Sun's, crosses interstellar space for an entire millennium before finally touching our telescopes here on Earth. The Unicorn quietly keeps this beacon, bending the dark between Orion and Canis Minor.
