Athebyne
Eta
Its story
Athebyne is a yellow giant in Draco, 92 light-years away, similar in colour to our Sun but far older and bulkier. Its name comes from the Arabic «al-thiʿbān», the serpent, and belongs to the sinuous body coiling around the celestial north pole. Looking at Athebyne is glimpsing an aged Sun, a slow preview of what awaits ours five billion years from now.
