Psi
Its story
Psi Boötis shines at two hundred and forty-six light-years in Boötes, that figure of the shepherd or ploughman driving the Bears around the pole. It is an orange K-type giant, a star past the bloom of its life that has slowly swollen. Its warm light belongs to the celestial neighbourhood ruled by Arcturus, one of the brightest stars of the northern hemisphere.
