Its story
Within the seated silhouette of Cassiopeia shines an F-type yellow-white star 67 light-years away. The light reaching the night sky now departed around 1959, when the Soviet probe Luna 2 became the first human object to touch another world. Slightly hotter and more luminous than the Sun, it is a temperate neighbour set inside a constellation woven from legend.
