Its story
40 Aurigae burns white and hot in the Charioteer, about 341 light-years away. A-type, young in stellar terms, it holds a modest place under the dome of the constellation's pentagon. It rides with the winter charioteer —far from Capella, the goat, yet steady among the fainter points that trace his reins and shoulders.
