Its story
Another white A-class star in Virgo, cool and silent, 483 light-years away. Its light began its journey toward us when Barbary corsairs were prowling the Mediterranean and Philip II s fleet was preparing the Spanish Armada. Nearly five centuries of crossing the void so that tonight, unannounced, it might deposit a white glimmer among the folds of the celestial maiden.
