Its story
On the stern of the celestial ship —Puppis— shines a white A-type star, crisp as cold porcelain. Its light departed around 1785, the year Lavoisier was rewriting chemistry by naming oxygen and banishing phlogiston. Two hundred and forty-one years of quiet travel to deliver magnitude 4.61 across the southern sky.
