Its story
A sister to the Sun in Hydra: same G class, same warm yellow, same familiar atmosphere. Her light has been travelling for 99 years —it left her while Hubble was proving that galaxies were separate islands in an expanding universe. To look at a G star is to look at what the Sun will show those who watch our sky a century from now.
