Its story
In Andromeda, near the threshold of its famous galaxy, a yellow G-type star pulses about 847 light-years away. Its light departed around 1179, while Hildegard of Bingen was writing her musical visions in a Rhineland monastery. A cousin of the Sun in colour, yet farther and more luminous —an elder sister wrapped in the autumn sky—.
