Its story

52 Pegasi is a white A-type star 308 light-years away, set in vast Pegasus —the winged horse whose body traces the famous Square of Autumn. Its hot atmosphere gives it a clean blue-white tone, without golden cast. Pegasus was one of the first constellations to host a confirmed exoplanet —the 1995 discovery of 51 Pegasi b, not far from this star— opening the era of extrasolar worlds.
