Pollux

Pollux is one of the two bright stars that make up the constellation Gemini, representing one of the twin brothers. It is an orange giant star, meaning it has expanded and cooled after exhausting the hydrogen fuel in its core. Located about 34 light-years from Earth, Pollux is notable for being one of the closest giant stars visible to the naked eye. It also has a confirmed planet orbiting it, making it of interest in the study of planetary systems around evolved stars. Its prominence and proximity make Pollux a key object for astronomers and stargazers alike.
