Xi-2
Its story
Xi2 Capricorni lies some 90 light-years away within the ancient zodiacal sign of Capricorn, where the Sun once marked the northern winter solstice. It is an F-type star, slightly hotter and whiter than the Sun, with a faint but clean light that joins the delicate drawing of the celestial sea-goat.
