Del
Its story
Delta Crateris is the leading light of the Cup, a quiet constellation that mythology linked to the chalice of Apollo. At 186 light-years, this orange K-type giant has exhausted the hydrogen in its core and swollen into an aged, ruddy sun —cool at the surface but enormous in size. Its coppery glow marks the rim of the Cup spilled across Hydra's back.
