Its story
In Ursa Major, beside the most copied wagon of the northern sky, an F-class whitish sun shines 128.6 light-years away. Slightly hotter than the Sun, its light reaches us after a century and a quarter of travel: tonight's beam departed when the Wright brothers were readying the first powered flight on the dunes of Kitty Hawk.
