Explanation: Better known as Hind's Crimson Star, R Leporis is a rare star in planet Earth's night sky. It's also a shocking shade of red. The star's discoverer, 19th century English astronomer John Russell Hind, reported that it appeared in a telescope "... like a drop of blood on a black field."
John Hind was an English astronomer who discovered ten asteroids and several notable variable stars, including Nova Ophiuchi 1848, U Geminorum, R Leporis (also known as Hind's Crimson Star), and a mysterious newcomer in the constellation of Taurus.
