Its story
Two hundred and thirty-three light years: the photon observed today from this white A-type in Vela left around 1793, during the French revolutionary Terror and the dawn of the modern republic. Its surface, far hotter than the Sun's, emits the bluish glow characteristic of its class. It dwells in a southern constellation barely visited by classical mythology.
