Its story

28 Ceti glides along the body of the sky's great whale, a vast and quiet constellation stretching near the equatorial horizon. It is a white A-type star with a surface markedly hotter than the Sun's, and its light crosses nearly five hundred and ninety years before touching Earth. When those photons set out, the late Middle Ages still set the rhythm of life across Europe.
