Its story
Along the stellar stern of the ship Argo —today simply Puppis— an A-type white sails at 411 light-years. The light reaching us tonight cast off when the Netherlands ceased to be a Spanish province after the Peace of Westphalia. It shines without telling the story —it only crosses through it.
