Its story

In Lacerta, the discreet little lizard between Cygnus and Andromeda, shines a white A-class sun 251.7 light-years away. Hotter than the Sun, its light set out for Earth when a child-prodigy Mozart was composing his first symphonies in the courts of Europe. A modern constellation —barely seventeenth century— that hosts a light older than its own name.
