Its story

In Cepheus, the mythical king of the northern sky, this yellow-white F-type star shines, hotter than the Sun. Its light began the journey around the year 1335, in the early years of the Hundred Years' War between France and England, well before the Black Death that would sweep Europe a decade later. F-type stars like this one combine the clear glow of youth with the warm tone of long-lived suns.
