Khambalia

Lam

Its story

Khambalia is a white star in the foot of Virgo, one of the most extensive zodiacal constellations of the sky. Its name is attributed to an ancient Coptic Egyptian word — a rare linguistic fossil among so many Arabic designations. At 187 light-years, it shines with the crisp clarity of young white stars, discreetly marking the place where the celestial maiden rests her sandal.
