Zet-1

Its story

ζ¹ Librae belongs to the Scales, the old name for the Scorpion's claws that the Romans split into their own constellation. It is an orange giant 784 light-years away, of type K4 III, with a temperature of 4,140 K and around 400 solar luminosities. Its coppery, soft, ancient light comes from a multiple star whose fainter companions remain almost in shadow.
