Its story
Lacerta, the small Lizard stitched between Cygnus and Andromeda by Hevelius in the 17th century, hosts a white class A star. Its photon began the journey 268 years ago: it left when Linnaeus was finishing his Systema Naturae and European science was learning to classify everything it saw. This light, by contrast, still resists any proper name.
