Omi

Its story

Omicron Ophiuchi is a visual double 281 light-years away, two stars separated by ten arcseconds that any decent telescope resolves with ease. The primary is an aged yellow giant, twelve times the Sun's radius and seventy-five times its light; the companion, cooler and smaller, glows at roughly half the magnitude. An uneven pair in the Serpent Bearer, drifting toward us at nearly thirty kilometres per second.
