What is HIP 92367
In the small Telescopium of the southern sky shines a yellow sun, a G-type star bulkier than ours whose light crossed 359 years of darkness before reaching our eyes. When it set out, Cassini was first observing the division of Saturn's rings. At that distance, its golden glow feels like a wink set deliberately inside the constellation that pays homage to the very instrument by which it was found.
