Its story
A clean white light comes from Taurus, the region of the Pleiades and Hyades. Its journey began around 1866, just as Gregor Mendel was publishing his laws of inheritance in the obscurity of a Moravian monastery. One hundred and sixty years ago, this A-type star set out on the path that now brings it across the night sky.
