Its story
This white A-type star inhabits Camelopardalis the giraffe, a faint northern constellation barely sketched in the 17th century. Its light has traveled 991 years: it left while Christian kingdoms prepared the First Crusade and Persian astronomers refined their tables. Its surface exceeds nine thousand degrees and pours out several dozen times more energy than the Sun.
