Lam
Its story
Lambda Normae is a white double in the small Carpenter's Square, that modest constellation Lacaille traced near the body of Scorpius. At 349 light-years, its combined magnitude lies right at the threshold of the naked eye: it can only be found from truly dark skies, far from cities. It belongs to a discreet corner of the Milky Way, dense with stars but poor in famous figures.
