Its story

In the endless Hydra, this yellow-white F-type star is relatively close, only 150 light-years away. Its light set out around 1875, when Bell was patenting the telephone and electricity was beginning to light the first European streets. Slightly hotter than the Sun and a white barely tinted with gold, it is one of those tidy stars that draw no attention yet hold the constellation's drawing in place.
