Iot

Its story

Iota Leonis is a quadruple system seventy-seven light-years away, dominated by two yellow-white stars locked in a highly eccentric dance. Its two principal components are slowly drifting apart until the year 2060, then will swing back together a century later in a gravitational choreography that has been tracked since 1835. It lies in the hindquarters of Leo, far from the burning heart of Regulus.
