Mu-1

Its story

Mu-1 Chamaeleontis is a white star nestled near the southern celestial pole, in a constellation so austral that it never rises above the European horizon. About three hundred and seventy-five light-years away, it turns slowly around an axis very close to the pivot around which the entire southern sky appears to revolve. It is one of those almost motionless points that only patient astronomers at the world's edge can study.
