Its story
In Capricornus shines a white star about 179 light-years away. Its light set out around 1847, when Charlotte Brontë was publishing Jane Eyre and telegrams were beginning to abolish distances. Hotter than the Sun, its surface radiates a clean white —like the edge of a new moon held still above the southern summer horizon.
