Its story
In the robe of the Virgin shines a white star 220 light-years away, suspended between distant clusters of galaxies. Its light set out around 1805, when Trafalgar was deciding the maritime fate of the Atlantic. A-type stars are cool jewels compared to their blue cousins: they burn at some ten thousand degrees and display a hydrogen spectrum almost out of a textbook.
