Ome

Its story

Omega Hydrae is a huge orange K2 giant, with a radius nearly thirty-four times the Sun's and a luminosity four hundred times greater, yet she looks dim from Earth. The distance is to blame: 896 light-years separate her ember from our eyes. She lives on the immensely long back of Hydra, the largest constellation in the sky, a serpent that stretches across nearly a quarter of the celestial vault.
