Its story

55 Piscium is a whitish-yellow F-type star in Pisces, the pair of fish tied together by a cord in the zodiac. It lies 415 light-years away and burns somewhat hotter than the Sun. Pisces is a quiet constellation, without truly bright stars, and 55 Piscium is one of the many modest sparks that trace its outline. Its light left there while the Magellan-Elcano fleet was completing the first circumnavigation of the world.
