Its story

It carries the barely-golden white of an F-type star in Auriga, a northern winter constellation. Its light took just over 158 years to arrive: it set out in the mid-nineteenth century, when the railway was weaving Europe together and the internal combustion engine was being invented. Slightly hotter and more luminous than the Sun. In Auriga, anchored by its main yellow star, this light keeps a secondary but clean position.
