Nu
Its story
Nu Telescopii is a discreet white star in Telescopium, the constellation Lacaille named in honour of the instrument that had revealed so many of the sky's secrets. Its motion through space matches that of the open cluster IC 2391: it likely was born there and still drifts in its current, a stray sister of a distant group.
