Its story
Suspended in Perseus, this class-A white star sends us light that has been travelling for 243 years. It left its surface during the French Revolution, as the Estates-General were opening the doors of a new political world. Hotter and more luminous than the Sun, it shines with the cool clarity of young stars, near other giants of the same galactic arm that weave the silhouette of the celestial hero.
