Its story
In Lepus, at Orion's feet, shines a yellow-white star about 160 light-years away. The light reaching us today set out around 1866, when the first stable transatlantic telegraph cable was being laid and the world was discovering immediacy. A touch hotter than the Sun, it keeps a white tone barely tinged with gold —like a frozen sliver of dawn.
