Its story
White, clean, almost blue in its coolness: an A-class star pinned in Virgo, 159 light-years away. The light settling on the planet tonight broke from its stellar source when the first steam locomotives were crossing England and a chemist named Faraday was uncovering electromagnetic induction. A steady point amid the folds of the celestial maiden.
