Its story
27 Leonis Minoris is a white A6 main-sequence star about 242 light-years away in a constellation only the seventeenth century dared to draw: Leo Minor, added by Hevelius among the ancient figures. At magnitude 5.89 it skirts the edge of unaided vision and demands a truly dark sky. Its light, released around the end of the Renaissance, is still travelling as it reaches this page.
