Phi-3

Its story

Phi-3 Hydrae is a yellow type G star already turned giant, glowing some 211 light-years away along the serpentine back of Hydra, the largest constellation in the sky. It shares the Sun's spectral class but has long passed maturity, swelling to shine many times brighter. Its light has been travelling for so many centuries that it reached Earth in the middle of the nineteenth century.
