Its story
A white light, cool and precise, set within the body of the Swan as it flies down the Milky Way. At 411 light-years, its flash departed when Kepler was publishing his laws of planetary motion and beginning to dismantle the medieval universe forever. A young, chemically distinct A-class star that now deposits that century of reason into our eyes.
