Zet-2
Its story
Zeta-2 Muscae shines white at 330 light-years, in the small southern Fly that hums just south of Crux. It is an A-type star, hot enough to display a crisp, almost bluish gleam in the clear skies of the southern hemisphere. A quiet neighbour of the Cross, in a region that European navigators only glimpsed for centuries upon crossing the equator.
