Its story
A white star in Centaurus, the celestial centaur. Its light has been crossing space for 239 years: it set off when the French Revolution was breaking out and the new United States was ratifying its Constitution. An A-class star, hotter and more luminous than the Sun, it radiates a vivid white, typical of stars still enjoying their long, stable youth.
