Zet
Its story
Zeta Crateris is a yellow giant of the red clump: a star that has finished burning hydrogen and now fuses helium quietly in its core. Swollen to thirteen times the Sun's diameter, it pours out 157 solar luminosities from 353 light-years away. It rests within the Cup, a small constellation the Greeks linked to Apollo's chalice, set halfway between sprawling Hydra and dark Corvus.
