Its story

24 Piscium is a yellow G-type star in the Fishes, around 448 light-years away from Earth. It shares the exact same spectral class as the Sun —and thus the very same colour, temperature and surface chemistry— at a distance thousands of times greater than that of the nearest stellar system. Pisces draws two ribbons that meet at the very knot where, in the second century, Ptolemy placed the start of the modern zodiac.
