Its story
A white A-class star in Camelopardalis, 243 light-years away—a constellation so sparsely populated that any star within it deserves a second look. The light we see tonight broke free around 1783, the year the Montgolfier brothers lifted the first hot-air balloon over Versailles. It shines with the typical cleanliness of A-stars, without fanfare and without apology.
