Its story

Three hundred and sixty-four light years along the winding course of Eridanus: the light observed today from this yellow G-type departed around 1662, the year Boyle published his law of gases and the Royal Society received its royal charter. A star from the same spectral family as the Sun, though more distant and luminous, shining in a constellation that snakes between the celestial equator and the southern pole.
