Its story
101 Aquarii closes the numbered procession of the Water Bearer with a polished, serene white light of class A, set almost three hundred light-years from Earth. It lies in a region of the sky ruled by faint figures —Aquarius, Piscis Austrinus— where it acts as a quiet coda to Flamsteed’s catalogue for this constellation. Its glow comes from a surface a few thousand degrees hotter than the Sun’s.
