Its story

23 Andromedae is a pale yellow F-type star 114 light-years away from Earth —a real neighbour, in purely stellar terms. It sits along the very outline of Andromeda, the princess whose silhouette points directly toward the faint smudge of the galaxy that bears her own name, our spiral neighbour out at some 2.5 million light-years. A quiet signpost toward one of the deepest objects visible to the naked eye.
