Its story

Monoceros, the Unicorn, is a late and shy constellation, with no bright stars to give it away. Within it sits this yellow-white F-class at one hundred and thirty-six light-years. Its light set out around 1889, the year the Eiffel Tower opened for the Paris Universal Exposition. Slightly hotter than the Sun and serene of look, it crosses the winter sky without pretension.
