Dziban

Psi-1

Its story

Dziban comes from the Arabic «al-dhiʾbān», «the two wolves» or «the two jackals», a pair of stars in Draco that classical astronomy pictured hunting together. It is a yellow-white star 75 light-years away, close enough for its light to reach us in barely three generations. The constellation Draco winds between the two Bears, and Dziban is one of the sharpest points along its sinuous path.
