Its story
Some 246.4 light-years away, in the small Hare crouched at the feet of Orion, shines a white A-class sun. Hotter than our own, its light departed when Bach was composing the Goldberg Variations and Baroque music was reaching its mathematical perfection. Almost two and a half centuries of travel to arrive at a shy, nimble constellation of the winter sky.
