Its story
In Taurus, near the Pleiades and Hyades, a white A-class star shines with a crisp, youthful tone. Its light crossed space for one hundred and fifty-three years, leaving when photography was first capturing human faces on silvered plates. Hotter and more luminous than the Sun, it marks this ancient celestial bestiary with a cool, elegant point.
