Its story
In the Unicorn, Monoceros, shines a yellow-white type-F star 91 light-years away. Its light departed in the late 1930s, when Fleming had just discovered penicillin and modern medicine pushed open an unexpected door. Slightly hotter than the Sun, its pearly tone brushes against gold —a light glow that has travelled nearly a century to meet our telescopes.
