Its story
Upsilon Aquarii is a binary system just 74 light-years away, formed by a yellow-white F-type star and a red dwarf companion. NASA has listed it among the «most accessible» stars for the future Habitable Worlds Observatory to search for potentially habitable planets in its neighbourhood. One of those close neighbours that the next generation of instruments is already sharpening its gaze upon.
