Its story
Within Perseus glows a white A-type star 382 light years away. Its light set out when Cervantes was writing the second part of Don Quixote in a Baroque and weary Spain. Hotter than the Sun and more luminous, it shines with the sharpness typical of white stars, without the warmth of the yellow ones or the fierce burn of the blue.
