Sig

Variable star

Its story

Sigma Sculptoris is a white A-type variable about two hundred and thirty light-years away, with faint pulsations in its brightness. The Sculptor was another of Lacaille's inventions, dedicated to the artist's workshop, tools included. Sigma shines in that celestial studio where myth steps aside and the patient craft of manual work moves in.
