Its story
Barely 58.8 light years separate the observer from this yellowish-white class F star in Hydra. Its light left around 1967, the Summer of Love in San Francisco and the year of the first human heart transplant in Cape Town. A star slightly hotter than the Sun, one of the few almost touchable in cosmic terms, an intimate neighbourhood of the solar district.
