Its story

On the Stern of Puppis, the celestial ship, a white type-A star burns 93 light-years from Earth. Its light set out in the early twentieth century, when the Wright brothers achieved their first powered flight at Kitty Hawk. It shines with a sharper glow than our yellow Sun —a calm flame that crossed the ocean of the void guided only by the laws of gravity.
