Its story

43 Persei is a yellow-white F-type star roughly one hundred and twenty-two light-years away, a modest distance on a galactic scale that makes it one of the closer residents of Perseus. Slightly hotter and more luminous than the Sun, its light departed around the time the cinematograph was taking its first steps. Within the constellation's drawing it sits far from the famed Algol, yet shares with it the same region rich in young stars of the galactic arm.
