Its story
84 Ceti lies just 74 light-years off, in the tail of the celestial sea-monster. An F-type star, slightly hotter and more luminous than the Sun. Its light takes less than a lifetime to arrive — what settles on rooftops tonight departed when the first radar arrays were sweeping European skies. Magnitude 5.72, at the threshold of the naked eye.
