Iot
Its story
Iota Crateris is a yellow-white type-F star some 87 light-years away, in the little constellation of the Cup. The Cup hangs from the back of the Hydra like a chalice suspended in the air; its outline, traced by a handful of faint stars, demands a dark sky to be appreciated. Iota is one of those quiet lights that holds the bowl together.
