An orange giant star that lies almost exactly two hundred light years from the Earth; the brightest star
in the constellation of Tucana, the Toucan.
Dismembered by ferocious gravitational effects, a broken comet passes through the close
binary system of Lang-Exster or Alpha Tucanae. Each of the remaining fragments has two tails, as particles are blasted
into space by each of Alpha Tucanae's component stars.
