Kraz

Its story

Kraz is the Beta of Corvus, that small trapezoid constellation Greek myth tied to the crow Apollo sent for water — a bird that lingered so long it was punished and pinned to the sky. Its etymology has been lost somewhere among medieval copyists. A yellow G-class giant, similar in colour to our Sun but far older and far more swollen, it glows from about 146 light-years with the warm tone of an old harbour lantern.
