Its story

In small Vulpecula, an unnamed white star has been sending its light for 224 years. It set off when Napoleon was being crowned emperor and the nineteenth century was opening in convulsions. Hotter than the Sun and silvery in tone, it is a discreet A-type in a humble constellation, neighbour of the Swan and the Lyre, which lacks grand mythological figures yet shelters countless near-anonymous marvels.
