Its story
In southern Tucana, where Bayer placed the Small Magellanic Cloud, shines this white A-type star at 215 light-years. Its light set out around 1810, the year Hidalgo cried the «Grito de Dolores» in Mexico and independence movements were sweeping through Latin America. It is an electric surface, far hotter than the Sun, painted in vivid white.
