Its story

35 Lyncis is an orange K-type giant pulsing some 265 light-years away within Lynx, the constellation that Hevelius named in the 17th century because, as he put it, only someone with the eyes of a lynx could pick out its faint stars. It inhabits a region poor in bright luminaries, which makes it one of the more noticeable points in an almost empty stretch of sky.
