Its story
60 Cancri is an orange K-type star about 696 light-years away in the Crab, a zodiac constellation so faint its stars are more easily found by the presence of the Beehive cluster. Its cool tone and remoteness make it a quiet pinpoint, near the threshold of unaided sight. The light arriving now left the star while Dante was finishing the Divine Comedy.
