Its story

An A-type white in Aquarius, 157 light-years away, young and hot compared with our yellow Sun. Its light belongs to the bright tier of nuclear youth: hydrogen burning steadily in the core, untroubled by the complications of an aged giant. It glows quietly among the streams of water poured by the Cup-Bearer — one of the most ancient zodiacal constellations, already engraved on Mesopotamian tablets nearly four thousand years ago.
