Its story
14 Persei shines around 980 light-years away, in the body of the hero who holds Medusa s head. It is a yellow type-G star, a distant sister of the Sun but placed at a distance that its light needs nearly a millennium to cross. What the eye receives tonight broke free in the heart of the Viking age.
