Its story
In Cetus, the sea whale of the winter sky, shines a yellow-white F-type star about 97 light-years away. Its light set out around 1929, the year Hubble proved the universe is expanding, suddenly opening the dizzying depth of galaxies. Hotter and whiter than the Sun, it vibrates with a high timbre, almost like polished crystal.
