Its story
In the vast Hydra, the longest constellation in the sky, this yellow-white star emits a light a touch livelier than the Sun s. Its beam started its journey around 1936, while Alan Turing was publishing his founding paper on computable machines. Ninety years on, that F-class glimmer arrives like an early pulse of the digital age.
