Phi-1
Its story
Phi-1 Lupi is an orange giant of type K resting some 275 light-years away, in the silhouette of the southern Wolf. Its warm light, stretched across centuries, reaches Earth aged and serene, the calm glow of a star that has long left its main-sequence youth behind. To the naked eye it is one of the quiet embers outlining the Centaur's beast, stitched between Antares and the Southern Cross.
