Sig-2
Its story
Sigma-2 Cancri is a white subgiant, a star slightly hotter than the Sun that has begun to drift past its youth after some 441 million years of steady burning. It belongs to a multiple system in the modest sign of the Crab—that small zodiacal constellation tucked almost unnoticed between bright Leo and the twin stars of Gemini. Its light crosses 194 years before reaching the human eye.
