Its story
Cetus, the cosmic whale, also watches over this yellow-white F-type star, slightly hotter than the Sun. Its light departed around 1871, when Heinrich Schliemann was excavating at Hisarlik, convinced he had found Troy, and archaeology changed forever. An F-class light that crossed 155 years of history and still arrives pristine in the night sky.
