Its story

19 Leonis Minoris belongs to the Lesser Lion, that humble constellation tucked between the Great Bear and majestic Leo. It is a yellow-white F-type star some 92 light-years away, slightly hotter than the Sun, with the crisp serene light typical of the F spectral coat. Its glow reaches us almost a century after setting out, crossing the northern silence between two zoological neighbours of the deep sky.
