Its story
In the Stern of the old Argo, 564.4 light-years away, a white A-class sun burns on. Hotter and brighter than our own, its light crossed space while Cervantes was publishing the second part of Don Quixote and Castilian was settling into its modern form. Over four centuries of crossing for a white flame few can identify amid the sails of the southern ship.
