Nearby starIts story
Psi Capricorni is one of the truly nearby stars populating the Sea-Goat: less than 48 light-years away, its light reaches us almost like a whisper from the cosmic neighbourhood. It is a yellowish-white F-type star, somewhat hotter and more luminous than the Sun, with a discreet yet clean brilliance that traces the body of the mythic creature half goat, half fish. The light we see tonight set out around the time the Spanish democratic transition was still freshly underway.
