Omi-1

Its story

Omicron-1 Cancri is a white A-type star in the Crab, about 149 light-years away —a distance strikingly close to that of the Hyades, although it does not belong to that cluster. Cancer is a zodiacal constellation of modest brightness but rich in history: it hosts Praesepe, the Manger, one of the oldest open clusters known to Greek astronomers. This star appears as one of the secondary points sketching out the Crab.
