Its story
74 Cygni is a white A-type star in the Swan, that vast cross diving into the summer Milky Way. Hot, young and luminous, it shines from 215 light-years away in an almost silvery tone. Cygnus is crowded with famous stars, so 74 Cygni is one of those you find by drifting from the neck toward the wings. Its light set out around 1810, in the thick of the Napoleonic era.
