Its story

In Canis Minor, the small canine companion of the hunter Orion, glints a white A-type star some 308 light-years away. Its light slipped away as the Bourbons were reorganising Spain after the War of Succession and the first encyclopedias began to classify human knowledge. Hotter than the Sun and of a crisp brilliance, it is a pale spark within the modest hound forever following the steps of its hunting master.
