Titawin

Its story

Titawin is a yellowish star 44 light-years from the Earth, set in the constellation Andromeda, almost on the doorstep of the Solar System in cosmic terms. Its name, assigned by the International Astronomical Union in a modern initiative, honours the Moroccan city of Tetouan and the Andalusi astronomical heritage that was preserved on the other side of the strait. At least four confirmed planets orbit around it, discovered between the late twentieth century and the early twenty-first: one of the first multi-planet systems ever confirmed beyond the Sun.
