Sig-3
Its story
σ³ Cancri is a yellow G-type star in the Crab, the modest zodiacal constellation where the Sun resides near the northern summer solstice. Its golden light recalls our own Sun, though this is a more evolved and distant star. Cancer hosts the famed Beehive Cluster, known since Antiquity as a faint cloud near the heart of the crab.
