Eta
Its story
η Volantis is a white star in the Flying Fish, another of the marine creatures added to the southern sky by Dutch navigators in the 16th century. Volans is a small, little-known constellation that seems to flee the celestial predator Dorado, the neighbouring goldfish. This A-type star shines clean in that forgotten corner of the firmament.
