Its story
20 Hydrae shines in the largest constellation in the sky, Hydra, the water snake that stretches more than a hundred degrees across the firmament. It is a yellow G-type star some 482 light-years away, already evolved, a distant sister of the Sun but far more luminous because of its more mature stage. Its light began its journey towards us when telescopes did not yet exist.
