Its story
Puppis, the stern of the ship Argo, holds this white A-class star 180 light-years away. The light crossing the atmosphere tonight set out when Charles Darwin had just boarded the Beagle and European telescopes were beginning to chart nebulae as physical objects. A clean, serene point pinned into the timber of the mythic vessel that once crossed the constellations.
