Geocache Description:

Starlight #3 is the third cache in a 5 cache series.  It is a Letterbox Hybrid cache and has it's own unique stamp for marking your personal log book.  However you will need to bring your own inkpad.  One is not included in the cache.


Starlight #3 represents the star 3rd from planet Earth.  Actually it is a star cluster consisting of 2 stars very close together.  One star is a G2, Yellow Dwarf star, similar to Sol but slightly larger.  The other is a K1, Orange Dwarf, smaller than Sol.  0.1 light years away from the second closest star to Earth, these two are often considered by some astronomers to be part of a three star cluster.  But at 4.3 light years from us, this pair takes 3rd place.  These stars share the name.......... Well, you guessed it.  You need to find the cache and stamp your logbook to get the name of these nightime sparklers.
