Its story

Within the embroidered mantle of Andromeda burns a blue-white type B star, young and far hotter than the Sun. Its light took roughly 388 years to cross the void: it set out when the Mayflower pilgrims were founding Plymouth and the Thirty Years' War set Central Europe ablaze. It now arrives as a cold, almost metallic spark, suspended among the mythological chains of the princess bound at the feet of King Cepheus.
