Its story
16 Aquarii is a quiet star of magnitude 5.87, right at the edge of what the human eye can detect under genuinely dark skies. It lies at 342 light-years within the zodiacal constellation of Aquarius, recorded in the Hipparcos and Bright Star catalogues. A yellowish light that set out near the time Galileo was committing his observations of Jupiter's moons to print.
