What is HIP 25110

In the far north, within the celestial giraffe of Camelopardalis, glows a yellow-white F-type star, slightly hotter than the Sun. Its light reaches us after a journey of about 68 years: what arrives today set out around 1958, when Sputnik still echoed in radio antennas across half the planet and the space age was just beginning. Camelopardalis is a quiet constellation, without bright stars, drawn in the seventeenth century as a reminder that there was still sky left to name.
