Pi-2

Its story

Pi-2 Cancri is an orange giant in the Crab, the dimmest constellation of the zodiac, which also hides the famous Beehive Cluster. It belongs to the family of stars that have burned through their core hydrogen and slowly swollen up, offering the warm hue characteristic of K-type stars. At 607 light years, its light began the journey when Europe was passing through the early Renaissance.
