Its story
An A-type white in the quiet Monoceros, some 332 light-years away. Its light set off when Louis XIV was inaugurating the palace of Versailles and Baroque Europe was measuring the sky with pendulums and violins. Clean and restrained, it cuts across the boreal winter like a silver pin driven between the stars of the Unicorn.
