Its story

12 Leporis shines in Lepus, the small constellation crouched beneath the feet of Orion. It is a white A-type star nearly a thousand light-years away —a clean, hot light that crosses centuries before reaching a human pupil. The region is discreet compared with the Hunter's dazzle, but to anyone who looks closely it offers a more intimate sky, made of minor figures patiently waiting to be recognised.
