Its story
A nearby yellow star in Perseus, cosmic cousin of the Sun. Its light crossed just 104 years before reaching us: it set off in the midst of World War I, when Einstein was presenting his general theory of relativity. A G-class star, it shares the golden hue of our daytime body and burns in silence, far closer than most stars dare to be.
