What is HIP 35384
Lost among the faint stars of Lynx —the constellation Hevelius drew for those with lynx-sharp eyes— this A-type white peers down from 349 light-years. The light reaching us tonight began its journey when Galileo first pointed his telescope at the moons of Jupiter. A clean whiteness, indifferent to who notices.
