Its story
The Water-Bearer, Aquarius, holds within his flow this white A-class star. Its light departed around 1793, the year the French Convention proclaimed the republic and guillotined Louis XVI, amid Europe's full political earthquake. That white wave, indifferent to thrones and scaffolds, has crossed more than two centuries of darkness to end up, quietly, on our sensors.
