Gam-2
Its story
Gamma-2 Normae is a yellow giant 129 light-years away, set in a quiet constellation tucked between Scorpius and Centaurus: the astronomer's Set Square, with no bright stars and no classical myths. Its light feels like that of a future Sun, already swollen after leaving the main sequence. Far from the great asterisms, it belongs to the silent host of stars only revealed to those who learn to look beyond the famous ones.
