Its story

Beneath the keel of the celestial ship burns a yellow-white star 120 light-years away —close, in cosmic terms. Its light set out as Tesla was designing his first alternating-current motors and electricity was reshaping the face of cities. A class-F sun, hotter and more energetic than ours, it shines with a creamy white that hints at a briefer stellar life, a more impatient fire.
