Its story
33 Lyncis shines with white light typical of an A-class star, about 355 light-years away within Lynx, a constellation so faint that Hevelius named it that way because only those with the eyes of a lynx could trace it. Its surface, much hotter than the Sun s, gives it that bright, vibrant tone. The radiation reaching us tonight left around 1670, in the age of Newton.
