Iot
Its story
About 59 light-years away, on the shoulder of Centaurus, Iota Centauri shines with the calm whiteness of an A2 star. It belongs to the IC 2391 kinematic group, a family of sibling stars born together at least 45 million years ago from the same molecular cloud and still travelling in formation through the Milky Way. To look at it is to glimpse a stellar lineage written in shared motion.
