Its story

38 Leonis Minoris is a yellow-white F-type star 171 light-years away, in a small constellation nestled between Leo and the Great Bear. The Little Lion, drawn by Hevelius in the 17th century, carries no great legends: it is a quiet quadrant where 38 Leonis Minoris shines with the calm of a sun a little warmer than ours.
