Its story
40 Cygni is a white A-type star some 266 light-years away, nested in the Northern Cross. At magnitude 5.63 it stays barely reachable to the eye from dark skies, within a Swan stretched along the Milky Way. Vega, Deneb and Altair form nearby the famed Summer Triangle, that bright landmark under which this modest star traces a cool point in the galactic river.
