Its story

In Lynx, that constellation so faint Hevelius warned «you need a lynx's eyes to see it», shines a yellow-white F-class star whose light set out in the early 20th century, while the Wright brothers were trying the first powered flight. Slightly hotter and brighter than the Sun, it gives off a pale, steady glow, true to its nature as a stable, mature star. An open secret for those who learn to look between the sky's shadows.
