Its story
28 Hydrae stands about 900 light-years away in the body of Hydra, a distance that marks it as a powerful beacon: to remain visible from so far, its intrinsic brightness must far surpass the Sun s. It is a K-class star, orange and mature. The light we now see left in the early twelfth century, in the heart of the European Middle Ages.
