Its story
In the calm reach of Andromeda —the chained princess of the sky— floats this yellow-white F-type star, neighbour and discreet. Its light has been on its way barely 94 years: it set out around 1932, when Edwin Hubble had already shown that galaxies recede and the universe officially began, in the books, to expand.
