Nu
Its story
Nu Chamaeleontis is a yellow star 184 light-years away, in one of the southernmost constellations of the sky, invisible from nearly all of Europe. The Chameleon is a small, quiet region peppered with dark clouds where young stars are still being born. Here Nu shines with a solar tone, a nearby neighbour in cosmic terms, set against the backstage of a stellar nursery that has not yet gone quiet.
