Pi
Its story
Pi Coronae Borealis is a yellow G-type giant some 243 light-years away, set in the small northern crown. This constellation, a semicircle of faint stars, evokes the crown of Ariadne thrown into the sky by Dionysus in Greek myth. Pi is one of the secondary lights surrounding bright Alphecca, the jewel of the band, lending volume and depth to the delicate celestial arc.
