HIP 14110
What is HIP 14110
Along the celestial river of Eridanus burns a yellow G-class star —a distant kin of the Sun— with warm, steady light. Its glow took more than three hundred and twenty-nine years to reach us, leaving when Cervantes had just published the second part of Don Quixote. Its golden hue evokes slow dawns, that first light which is not yet day but already promises clarity.
