Its story
79 Leonis sits within the lion's body at nearly 354 light-years. A G-type star — distant cousin of our Sun — yet larger, more luminous and far older in its travel. Its light set out when the Gregorian calendar was still being adopted across much of Europe. Magnitude 5.39, visible only when the night has gone fully quiet.
