Its story
Just 61 light-years away —practically a neighbour in cosmic terms— this F-type yellow-white drifts in Eridanus, the celestial river. The light arriving tonight set out during the Second World War, while the Allies were landing in Normandy. One of the few stars whose photon brings the twentieth century intact.
