Its story
16 Camelopardalis is a white A-type star 336 light-years away, in the body of a celestial giraffe —a quiet, sparsely populated constellation named in the seventeenth century to fill a near-empty patch of the northern polar sky. Its light, launched around 1690, arrives now after crossing a high, dark region where even the Milky Way offers no background glow.
