Its story
19 Canum Venaticorum stands within the Hunting Dogs —a small constellation introduced by Hevelius in the 17th century, just south of the Greater Bear. It is a white A-type star about 242 light-years away, hotter and brighter than the Sun. Its light slipped free around 1784, during the cataloguing fever of Messier and the Herschels.
