Its story
In Hydra shines a white A-type star, hotter and more luminous than the Sun. Its light began its journey some 377 years ago: it set out around 1648, the year of the Peace of Westphalia that ended the Thirty Years' War and redrew the political map of Europe. That diaphanous glow now crosses the long winding body of the most extensive constellation in the sky.
