Its story

29 Arietis shines with F-type yellowish light barely 98 light-years away, one of the most modest distances in its group. At magnitude 6 it lies at the extreme edge of human sight, perceptible only under truly dark skies, within the small Ram constellation. Aries marks one of the cardinal points of the zodiac; there, this relatively close Sun neighbour sends a warm light that crosses space in roughly a century.
