Its story
66 Cancri is a white A-type star in the Crab, around 467 light-years away from Earth. The constellation, one of the faintest in the entire zodiac, hosts the famous Beehive open cluster —a stellar mist of young suns the naked eye long mistook for a cloud, until telescopes broke it apart into dozens of stars. This A-type shines a few houses over, near the silhouette of the claws.
