Psi

Its story

Psi Ophiuchi is an orange K0 giant 199 light-years away, one of the quiet lights weaving the huge silhouette of Ophiuchus, the constellation the Sun crosses but the traditional zodiac forgets. Her surface sits at about 4,800 degrees, almost a thousand cooler than the Sun, which is why her colour leans amber. Her radial motion is nearly zero: she neither approaches nor recedes, she simply is.
