Gam

Its story

Gamma Ophiuchi is a white type A star lying just 103 light-years away, on the flank of the Serpent-Bearer. Its sharp, almost unshaded light reveals a youthful surface, pure hydrogen burning with apparent calm. Surveys of its surroundings have uncovered a faint dust disc, a frozen relic reminiscent of our own Kuiper Belt, where unseen bodies may quietly trace their orbits.
