Its story
In Andromeda, the princess chained at the edge of the sea, shines a yellow-white F-type star 136 light-years away. Its light set out in the late nineteenth century, around the time of the first public cinema screening at the Salon Indien of the Grand Café in Paris. Hotter and more luminous than the Sun, it pulses among the threads of the mythic figure that shares the sky with the great galaxy bearing her name.
