Highly luminous star

Its story

Among the very first entries of the Hipparcos catalogue, near the opening of Cassiopeia's sky, a luminously powerful yellow star recedes at a distance measured in hundreds of thousands of light-years. What reaches the detector today is light torn loose in an era prehistoric to humanity. An immense beacon seen through deep time.
