Its story
Theta Cassiopeiae is a white type A star pulsing about 134 light-years away, within the unmistakable W of the mythological queen. Its clean glow serves as a landmark for amateur astronomers learning to find their way around the polar sky: from Cassiopeia one navigates onward to Andromeda and Perseus. It belongs to the northern backdrop that never sets for European observers.
